2 Year Doc appt

Thanks to Josie and Karen's recommendation I was able to quickly find a new pediatrician for Seb. His name is Dr. Jack Louis and he is AWESOME! He spent so much time with me, I was impressed. He only takes new patients at 7:45 am though so it was a really early morning for both of us. We took Seb's doctor kit and Sali so I could show him in the waiting room what Dr. Louis would do to Seb at our visit.  He was a champ! He weighs exactly 32 pounds (90%) and is 34 inches tall (50%). I'm not so sure he's in the 50th percentile for height. The nurse took his measurements very quickly so I think she may have been off by a few inches.  After all, this kid is as tall as some 3 year olds!!!  I'll need to make my own assessment - just as soon as I can keep Seb still for more than a second. Doc gave Sebby a clean bill of health and we finished with a flu shot. That part was no fun. Seb screamed for about 10 minutes afterwards and was completely upset about it for the rest of the day. Needless to say, he now has an aversion to Scooby Doo bandaids.  We are done with vaccines until Seb turns FOUR! Praise Jesus!  Sorry folks, no pics.

For some updates: Seb has finally mastered the word please. For a long time he would just say "ees" and then it morphed into "pabst" and now he finally can say Please. I still have to ask him to say it but I'll take what I can get. He is absolutely loving school. Whenever I ask him if he wants to go to school he gleefully screams, Yeeeeeeah. In fact, the past couple of times I have picked him up he refused to come home with me. He screams and flails his arms on the ground. Today he was out on the playground and he kept running away from me screaming noooooo. I finally had to pick him up and "escort" him to the car. I gave him a lecture that consisted of me telling him that I am his mom and he has to respect me. I put on my "stern" mommy voice. And it actually worked! I asked him if he understood and he said, yeah and stopped whining. Hmmmm....we'll see how long this lasts.

He is still very obsessed with any and all tools. Today, I found him using the drill to make a hole in the wall. Yes, a hole! The only benefit to this was that it happened in the garage. Now, there's a gaping hole that needs filling. Maybe I can teach him how to fix it? Also, he has grown a liking to the leaf blower. I can't wait until he understands that the point of this apparatus is to move leaves away from the pool, not in it.  

He is mastering his colors! Pat and I have been working on naming colors in books and he can point out all of them...when he feels like it. I think he gets his stubbornness from daddy.

We took our Christmas photos with Dore and I've already ordered our Xmas cards. I'm patting myself on the back as I write this! Here are some shots and a sneak peek to our xmas cards:

And one last note, whenever he sees a baby or hears the word baby he screams out ZEEEEKE, ZEEEEKE.  Baby baby baby. So stinkin' cute!
