2, Part Deux.

I forgot to include the important 2 year old stats in my last post. It made me a little bit sad when we took Max to his 2 year old checkup that he now no longer gets weighed on the baby scale or measured on the examination table. He got the whole "big boy" treatment, including blood pressure check! (Better luck next time on that one; he wouldn't sit still long enough for a good measurement).
Why yes, we did take our child to the doctor with a ginormous bruise on his forehead.

So, the stats:
Weight: 30.4 lbs --- 86%
Height: up for debate.

The nurse originally measured him at 34 3/4 inches, but Chris had measured him at home at some point previously (because he never trusts the medical "professionals") and he measured him somewhere above 35 inches. So when we found out the height percentage put him around 52%, when he had been somewhere around 90% 6 months ago, the doc also felt that warranted a re-measure. The doctor's measurement put him well above 35 inches, putting him back at the 92nd percentile for height. Chris felt the doctor actually measured him TOO big so let's just compromise and say he's probably somewhere around the 90th percentile. I don't really care what it is, I just wanted to make sure his weight was ok for his height and apparently it is fine. So, he can continue to eat like this:

We took Max to 5 Guys where he got his very own hamburger for his birthday. And where he proceeded to eat nothing but the pickles. (Ok, maybe we really went there because it's where *I* wanted to eat for *my* birthday...)

Aaaand, birthday shopping coma:
