Luke had his two year well check today with Dr. Fullmer and everything checked out great! Our baby is growing great and is almost at the top of the charts in all measurements. Luke did so good and never cried, except for when Daddy had to leave the room for a few minutes (Tyke needed the potty) and when he got his flu shot in the leg.
Luke thought he was so big and neat climbing up onto the scale to get weighed. He cooperated well with our nurse at getting his height taken and his bp monitored. It was so cute watching him be so big and brave for her. We could tell that he was nervous and a little hesitant but at the same time he liked showing off for us all. He's a character for sure!
We had to fill out a questionnaire on Luke to access where he stands for being two year old. There are a few things we need to start working on better (speech, drawing, etc) but he passed with flying colors. Chad and I feel bad that we don't do more with the boys (reading books, drawing, crafts, etc) but they get lots of love and attention and are happy and to me that means a lot!
Dr. Fullmer looked Luke over really well and the only abnormal thing he found was a little bit of fluid on Luke's right ear. He said it was clear and not infected so nothing to worry about, yet. We discussed lots of thing with Dr. Fullmer about Luke. Potty training was brought up a couple of times. I'm in no way ready for that yet but Dr. Fullmer told us that now is the time to start encouraging it so we will (we do a little anyway but I guess we'll start doing more). We are going to try really, really, really hard to get rid of Luke's bad milk habits at bedtime and in the middle of the night. We should have done this months ago but Luke is more stubborn than us and has won each time. Now it's time for us to get mean and only give him water. I can only imagine the fits that is going to cause. There are two white spots on Luke's body that we need to keep an eye one. One right above his belly button and the other is on the back of his neck. To me they look like vitiligo (which I have) and that's why I mentioned it to Dr. Fullmer. He doesn't seem to think it's vitiligo but told us to watch them and if they happen to grow at all in size we'll have to check them out. We also discussed Luke's patches of eczema. I hate that stuff! Luckily it's under control as long as we keep up with the lotion, which Luke absolutely hates. His poor little legs have it the worst. It doesn't seem to bother him at all but it bothers me how rough his skin feels some days if we skip lotion.
Luke's 2 year stats:
Weight: 32.8 pounds (96%)
Height: 35.75 inches (83%)
Head: 19.5 inches (82%)
After Dr. Fullmer got done visiting with us the nurses came in and gave all four of us a flu shot. Both boys were unhappy about that! It's nice to have that done and out of the way though. We're so glad that Luke once again got a clean bill of health and that he is growing and thriving and doing the things that he should be. We are so in love with his fun, stubborn, goofy little attitude! Our baby is a big boy now, and even though it's a little bittersweet I'm loving watching him grow. We love you Bubba!
