Visit went well. He was still on antibiotics for the ear infection he got from the vacation (first one since May) so no immunizations were given. He is meeting or exceeding his developmental milestones. She was impressed that he was using the potty on a regular basis and he used it twice in front of the doctor at her office. His speaking and social skills are well developed. His fine motor skills continue to be high as well. The rest of his milestones were appropriate to his age level.
Here are his stats for TWO:
Weight: 28 pounds 12 ounces (50-75th %)
Height: 35.5 inches (50-75th %)
Head Circumference: 51 cm (95th %)
Basically he is maintaining his growth trend in all areas except weight. He jumped up on the chart there. He went from being 10-25th percentile to 50-75th percentile in 3 months. He even lost 2 pounds that week due to being ill. He was weighing (at home) about 30-31 pounds. He has always been a skinny, long/tall kid with a big head. Now he is filling out I guess. He still looks skinny to me. :)
We talked about him returning to school and my concern for his health taking a dive again. She gave me many preventative and early intervention strategies for Jaxon with supplements and natural nose sprays. We are hoping that if we attack right from the start that his transition will be less traumatic to his sensitive respiratory system. I am worried because he got an ear infection on the trip so he is obviously still susceptible to getting them. I guess only time will tell. I am hoping that since we enrolled him in a higher quality facility that his occurrence of illness will be less.
It was an easy appointment. Now he is on the yearly schedule for well-child visits. Next one at three. Wow! He is such a big boy now. Crazy!
