2 Year Check-Up

Elijah and I started off the day with a few errands. One stop was Toys R Us. He is an official member of Geoffrey's Birthday Club so when he showed up he got a crown and a balloon. He loved it. He wore the crown for the rest of the day. Then off to the Dr's office. Here are the stats:

Height: 36 inches ( 90%)
Weight: 25 pounds (18%)
Head: 19 inches (85%)

We we're still tall and thin. I take that as a good thing. The doctor thought he was fine. Elijah had to get his blood drawn (standard for 2 year check up) and it proved his runny nose and crankiness is due to a cold. He also had to get 2 shots! A vaccine and a flu shot! OUCH!! He was not happy about that, but he got a Dora sticker and the world was good again. I didn't have my camera at the Dr office which was too bad because I know you would have loved to see him stripped to his diaper with just his birthday crown on. It was great. Well, since I didn't have my camera you'll just have to settle for a few pics I took the other day of Elijah coming in from playing outside.

No, that's not stuff on the camera lens...its all dirt! I asked what he was doing outside to which he replied, "digging". Great.

We are super busy (and stressed - just me) getting ready for the party. Last night I woke up and it was storming. I knew I needed to be worried about it raining so hard, but I couldn't think of why. I thought..."did I leave a window open?"..."no"...did we leave a toy outside?....no...hmmm...can't think of why its so bad that its raining. Then around 5 Beau jumps out of bed. He figured it out. We don't have a roof!! He could hear the dripping in the bathroom. He ran up to the attic to do as much damage control as possible. We get our new roof next week! Great!
