He got one shot, which he handled like a champ. I told him the nurse was going to give him a little owie in his arm, he nodded and said "Okay." He winced a little, but no tears! Afterward he was happy to take a sticker and beg for a couple animal crackers. The doctor noted an innocent heart murmur, which is very common, not dangerous, and requires no treatment. He has 20 teeth now - his 2-year molars are completely in.
So, here we go, his final baby stats posting:
height~~~~~~~~~35.25" (63rd percentile)
weight~~~~~~~~~27#1oz (33rd percentile)
head~~~~~~~~~~18.9" (29th percentile)
latest tricks: jumping with both feet, rolling down hills, eating beef (specifically, hamburgers and meatballs).
That last one is a biggie, because after 7 years Evyn has yet to take her first bite of beef!
And, he has gigantic feet. He's a size 8.5 - 9 shoe now, which Evyn wore when she was FOUR.
Looking back over his stats and growth charts, it's interesting to see how both kids started out with nearly identical measurements, but grew in very different ways. And it's fascinating to see how differently they play, too. Evyn was always very quiet, independent, and visual. Rarely did we make it through an entire book before something else captured her interest and she toddled away. (She is a voracious reader now - and still prefers to do it quietly, on her own!). Andrew, on the other hand, will crawl into my lap and beg me to read the same book over and over. He's also very big on role playing - he'll spend hours each day playing with Evyn's doll house and creating scenarios for the dolls to react to and interact. Evyn has always been more interested in crafting, building, and creating - she's a very literal thinker, and Andrew is always silly. Which might be one of the reasons why they get along so well, they compliment each other's personality perfectly!
