Going to the doctor with these two boys is no picnic. The tears start flowing as soon as we start heading back to the room. It is impossible to take them alone, so thank goodness my mom was there to help. I was expecting lots of crying and screaming, but was pleasantly surprised by their behaviors. Of course they cried when they were getting weighed (I cry too) and measured, but once we busted out the veggie chips, they were pretty content. Noah was in awe of the colored squares on the floor and the ballerina on the wall. Dylan liked sitting on Gaga's lap munching on chips. With the exception of getting shots, this was one of the best visits yet. We have two extremely healthy and smart little boys.
Noah
- 32 pounds (94th percentile) The doctor wants us to start paying attention to the calories he is eating. This boy loves his food!
- 33.75 inches (24th percentile) He may be little, but his voice makes up for his size!
- Noah can name every shape and knows most colors.
- Noah recognizes letters. He was pointing out the letter A on the wall to the doctor. Both the nurse and the doctor were impressed by him.
- If he wants your attention, he will grab your face to make sure you are staring into his eyes so he can tell you what he wants. He also screams everyone's name, not in a bad way, but that is how he gets your attention.
- When driving in the car, he has to tell you everything he sees (school bus, bridge, tunnel, city bus, tree, car, etc.)
- Noah speaks in full sentences. We may not always be able to understand him, but he is very confident in his speech.
- Noah is obsessed with cell phones and knows how to navigate through them to play his favorite games.
- After I lay him down in his crib, he looks up at me holding his pointer finger up and says "one more time" so that I pick him up and cuddle him one more time before he goes to bed. I am a sucker for it every night! Every morning he calls out from his crib "Oh Mason! Oh Dilly Bar!" It makes me giggle every time.
- Noah is very content in his high chair. He wants to eat every meal there and even watches TV while sitting in it. I am convinced that he will be a teenager still sitting in his high chair!
Dylan
- 30.1 pounds (83rd percentile) He is starting to like more foods now.
- 34 inches (31st percentile)
- Dylan's favorite foods are prunes, yogurt, anything in a pouch, and chocolate. I can bribe him to do anything if I offer up one of these foods.
- Dylan is very independent. He always says "My do." This means he wants to do it himself. I have to give this guy credit because he is a pro at feeding himself. He is a lot neater than Noah when it comes to eating.
- Dylan knows most shapes and some colors.
- Dylan is my little snuggle bunny. He will always give me a kiss or a hug when I ask him, and even surprises me by doing it on his own. He loves to cuddle on the couch, with the lights off and only the glow of the Christmas tree, and Christmas music.
- Dylan has graduated from the high chair and will only sit at his kid table or even the big table.
- Dylan is extremely ticklish and has the best belly laughs when we tickle his neck.
- If we are watching TV and something is about to happen to a character, Dylan screams out, "Oh no!"
- Dylan is my tank. He loves to wrestle and tackle Mason. We have to remind Mason that Dylan is smaller than him, but Dylan can hold his own. I've even seen him take Mason down a few times!
I can go on and on about all of the things these two boys are doing and how obsessed I am with them. They are so protective of each other and it makes my heart melt watching them play together. I can't believe they are two years old and I look forward to the many adventures we have ahead of us!
