If It Happens The Week Before Christmas, Does It Really Happen?

Although Zachary turned two well over a month ago, his two year physical only just took place on December 21st. Because it was 4 days before Christmas, it was barely a blip on the radar in our family and I forgot to post his stats.

We saw Dr. Mark, who we still love. He told me that Zachary looks like he's perfect in every way - meeting or exceeding all of the milestones that he should be. This comes as no surprise to us, although it's so strange to have no questions for the doctor at his check-up! Here are some of the things I reported to the doctor:

Zachary

• Runs, climbs and jumps in place
• Has successfully used the potty when he is placed there - and has occasionally asked and used it as well. (We are not pushing this right now though)
• Mimics everything his sister does in play, behavior, etc.
  
• Follows along with a conversation asking appropriate questions, and answering questions appropriately.
• Can sing his ABCs, as well as a few other children's songs
• Counts to 10
• Knows tons of words, and uses them in clear sentences.
• Has begun to identify his letters

Dr. Mark was happy with what he saw. Zach was not thrilled with his exam, or the shot he needed, but he did quite well. Here are his stats:

Weight - 26.4 lbs - 25th %ile
Height - 34 1/4 inches - 50th %ile
Head - 19 1/2 inches - 50-75th %ile

We'll take it. Job well done Zacharoo!
