Eli's Two (and he's still tall!).

Elijah had his two year old doctor's visit a few weeks ago, and since once you have a baby you suddenly become obsessed with the percentile your child is in (and every other child around his age as well), here are the stats for Elijah at age 2.

He is somewhere between 28 and 29 pounds. They used the "big boy" scale instead of the baby scale, but Eli was kind of wiggly and first the nurse said he was 28 and a half and then she said that he was 29. Somewhere around there I guess. They weren't concerned with accuracy so I guess I'm not (I am but I'm pretending not to be). That puts him around the 50th percentile, which is a nice jump from the 15-25th percentile he had been living in since his birth.

Elijah is still tall - 36 and a half inches tall to be precise. About the 90th percentile, a slight drop from the 100th he was in at 18 months, but consistent with all the rest of his heights.

He still has a big head, nearly 51 centimeters, which puts him around the 90-95th percentile. (see Mom, when I call him Big Head it's not a lie, it's really the truth!).

Since we are moving this was the last appointment with our doctor most likely, so that was kind of sad. But she was really happy with how well Elijah is doing, especially with his speech. At two years old Elijah is doing great (and no more percentiles until he's three!). :)

Look Who's Two!

Cute picture, can't believe how much he's grown. Looking forward to watching him and the rest of the kids on vacation this summer.
