2 Year Appointment

Max had his two year appt today!
His weight is up, I knew he had a growth spurt!!
He weighed right at 25 lbs (up from 21 lbs at his 18 month) and was 33 1/2" tall.
The doctor said he is doing great with his growth, motor and verbal skills. He asked questions about how he interacts with other children and how he does socially. He did say that one of the best toys to get a child at this age is a tricycle or something he can learn to pedal. We have one already, but I thought that was neat that he suggested that as a toy. He does want us to take him to his first dentist appointment this year and we should introduce the potty to him, although it's ok if he isn't potty-trained anytime soon.
He observed Max for a while and then said, "He's just different than other two year olds. He acts older, like a three year old." I'm not exactly sure what he meant by that, but I'm guessing its a compliment.
They pricked his finger to check and see if he was enemic (he's not), but boy did he hate that!!! He SCREAMED while they were getting blood from his finger and then screamed for about 5 minutes as we waited in the waiting room for the results. I'm sure he scared all the kids waiting out there.
Overall it was a great appointment. We talked about lots more, but those were the highlights.
