2 year old Birthday Cake!


The birthday theme this year was: Animals

We celebrated his special day with family this year. Sam enjoyed his special day and had a ton of fun opening up all his presents!

On Monday, we went to the Doctor for Sam's well 2 year old check!
Weight: 28#'s (60%)
Height: 34 3/4" (70%)

We also got asked a lot of questions on development...does he say more than 20 words, can he undress himself, does he eat healthy snacks, how much milk does he drink, does he watch TV...etc. The 20 word one I answered honestly, but the TV one...I can't give an honest answer...I looked at her and said, "well, yes, he does watch TV"..she asked, "how much?" I replied..."oh about an hour or so". I left it as an open ended answer with the "or so...". What I didn't realize about the well check up is I would be drilled with questions.

He showed Dr Paley and her medical student how he could jump off the big boy scale saying, "look mommy, Matthew & Doctors, 1-2-3!" and land on 2 feet! He did great, as she performed her physical. She said she was going to look in his ears for potatoes and I saw a red light go off in his head as I'm sure he was thinking she was going to find Mr. Potato head! He did leave the doctors office with giant tears as he received his flu vaccine, but I think he got over it.
