Shaun 2.5

The 10th marked Shaun's half birthday and on Monday we attempted to go for his 2 and a half year check up. It was going to be good timing since I needed to go back for Evan's second dose of the flu shot. Well it turns out that since we pushed back his 2 year check up (so that it matched up with Evan's 2 month check up) a month we were 2 and a half weeks early for his 2.5 year check and therefore the insurance wouldn't cover it. I mean really, forgive me for trying to schedule the least amount of office visits possible for my three children. So in any case, since they don't care how LATE you do the check up, we have rescheduled Shaun for February when Evan goes for his 9 month check.

But since he was already undressed to be measured and weighed, and was looking forward to it (we had talked about it in the car ride over), I asked the doctor if he could go step on the scale. I was also curious to get his real time official stats, which are:

Height: 36 inches
Weight: 31 3/4 pounds

Right about in the 50th percentile for both. He has been consistently right at 50 percent since birth! Just an average Joe! In other news, he was re-evaluated for his speech today and no longer qualifies for services! That means he is emerging or at expectations in all levels. I knew he wasn't going to qualify before the big exam since he's been doing so well with using his words, but it was nice to see just how far he has come since the beginning of summer! His new favorite thing to do is sing Jingle Bells and so I am going to try and get him on video, it seriously is the cutest thing ever!
