We can't believe how time has flown! Jack is now two years old. He recently had his 2-year checkup at the doctor, and here are his new stats:
- Height: 36 inches (87th percentile)
- Weight: 26 lbs (24th percentile)
Besides being tall and skinny, the doctor said he is right on track for everything. He has more than 20 words (usually I'm the only one that can understand them though), he can follow instructions, he is running, climbing, playing and getting into everything. The doctor gave me some tips for potty training (poop parties!) since Jack has shown some interest in the potty already. I'm not under any delusions that he'll be potty-trained any time soon, though. The nurses who gave him his immunizations said they have never seen a calmer two-year-old. He didn't even shed a tear and was actually smiling once the shots were done (the grape sucker didn't hurt, either).
Jack had a great second birthday party at Grandma and Grandpa Lanz's house. All of Jack's grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins were there. He received some pretty awesome trucks and Thomas the Tank Engine toys. If he wasn't obsessed with them before, he definitely is now. He pretty much walks around all day with a truck or train in his hand, saying "Choo Choo!" constantly. He has also taken an interest in puzzles lately. Puzzles that frustrated him just a couple of weeks ago he does a couple times in a row with no difficulty. He's getting smarter before our eyes!
Of course, besides being brilliant, he's also adorable:
