Scott and I took Ford to his doctor today for his two year visit. We have been going to a new pediatrician, Dr. Heil, since Ford was about 18 months old and we love him. We feel like he is very compatible with Ford and us.
Here are Ford's current stats:
Height: 35 1/2 inches/79 percentile
Weight: 29 lbs, 6 oz/65 percentile
Head Circumference: 50.6 cm/92 percentile
They asked if he was sleeping through the night, taking naps, eating well, brushing his teeth and had at least a 50 word vocabulary. Even though Ford isn't a great eater, the doctor was comfortable with his height to weight ratio. We had a couple of questions about Ford's behavior/personality and Dr. Heil recommended the book Raising Your Spirited Child. Ms. Pam, the nurse, gave Ford a vaccine (his last one until he's five-yeah!) and took blood for a lead test due to our 100 year old house that is under renovation. I think overall it was a pretty good and informative visit.
The good news is we have a healthy two-year-old boy!

Nat, Glad he's a healthy boy! I have that book that your doctor recommended, but I haven't read it yet. Hopefully, it will have something good in it. And, hopefully, Ford's big birthday party will go well. I am so sad that we will miss it. Love y'all, Ab
