Jonathan had his 2nd birthday doctor's appointment this morning. There were no shots, and he did very, very well. He's scoring welll within his range, and he seems quite advanced verbally for his age (I knew that!). Dr asked if he was speaking 50 words; I'm pretty sure he's got well over 100! She let him play with her knee-knocker, and at the end, he traded that for two tongue depressors -- sticks -- because two is always better than one! And, of course, he yelled out "I'm naked!" when I undressed him. His stats are: height: 34.5", weight 28.5lbs, and head circumference 50".

Later on, as I laid him on the changing table at home, he looked up at me and said "oh, that's comfortable, mommy." We have been putting a small pillow down now because he's getting too long for the table, and I guess he really liked it.

In trying to instill some German, he's also learned "Gesundheit," which should be 3 syllables but he does in just two so far. And, he's using his thumb as 'one' (rather than his first finger).
