2 year checkup

On Friday, Connor had his 2 year checkup with the pediatrician. It seems kind of silly to see the pediatrician at this point considering all the specialists we see, but I really look forward to his regular checkups. It is a nice to know that someone else has Connor's whole medical history all in one place and know that there is someone who follows all of Connor and not one specific body part. My favorite part of the checkup has always been height and weight check. I have always been interested in this even with Makayla. I am not really sure why, but I like to see how much they are growing and where they stand on the height and weight chart. When Connor was younger and we were going in for weekly weight checks prior to his heart surgery sometimes there was no change at all. For his first 18 months, he ranged from the first to fifth percentile for weight on typical scale and from the third to seventh percentile for height. At age two, Connor weighed 24 pounds 12 ounces which put him in the 15 percentile for weight on the typical scale and 32 1/4 inches long which put him in the 7th percentile. I actually thought he was going to be much closer to the 50th percentile because he seems so big to me now, but I am happy he is still a little peanut =)  Overall, the physical was fantastic and Connor is very healthy!  It is nice to have a fun doctor's visit every once in a while!!!!
