henry had his 2 year check up last week. yes, I know, a little late, but right after he turned two we had a newborn so his 2 year appt was pushed back a little. :)
he weighs 30 pounds (75th percentile) and is 37 inches tall (90th percentile). he is a healthy toddler. when our pediatrician came in to examine him he said, "dr. s, you are a nice man." can you tell mom fed him that line a few million times in hopes that he would be happy during the visit?!? it was hilarious. he says something every single day that is so darn funny. what a fun age! he is still a good eater, although feeding your under 18 month child is definitely easier than a 2 year old. things he used to love he only likes now, and although I wouldn't say he is picky, he has much more of an opinion now. his favorite green veggie is hands down spinach. next would be broccoli. next would be edamame. does not like peas, brussel sprouts or salad. other veggies he does not like are white potatoes, sometimes does not like carrots and yellow squash and zucchini. likes most fruits. favorites are apples, bananas, pears, and oranges. likes all meats. LOVES tilapia and salmon - would probably like other fish too but we mostly cook just those two types. yes, we are still particular about what he eats. he's still never had a pop tart (to my knowledge). just tried m&m's and straight (non diluted) apple juice for the first time over the weekend (we have started potty training and are using them as rewards). everyone has their "thing" and his nutrition is my "thing." :)
still sleeping pretty well ... an afternoon nap and 11-12 hours at night. although, about 4-5 weeks after Owen was born henry started being an anti-napper for whatever reason. this lasted for about 3-4 weeks and was NO fun at all, for anyone. however, he has gotten much better thank goodness!!!
he has really started taking/spending more time with owen and is great with him 90% of the time. its so sweet. henry's vocabulary is really increasing and his memory is scarily good. he is still signing and enjoying the Signing Time videos. he only signs though when you work with him on it though-he'd rather talk. a talk he does a lot of, no doubt. it is bizarre to have a baby that doesn't talk since we are now so used to one who jabbers all the time!
henry is a delight. he is so sweet and loving. he is so entertaining. he is such a sponge and loves to learn. what a privilege it is to be his mother!
