Max's 2 Year Ped Appointment

We had Max's 2 Year pediatrician appointment yesterday. It went fine. I was a bit nostalgic as we walked in, Max holding my hand and excited to see the "fish" which he apparently remembered. No need for baby carrier's or strollers or all the extra trappings of previous visits. Max also remembered the shots. As we were walking back to our room and rounded the corner, he said "no" and turned back. As we entered the room for the head, height, weight check, he just cried, cried, cried until the nurse left the room. He was fine with Dr. H and even said his name a few times, but of course, not when Dr. H was in the room. And, after he left, Max said, "more, Dr. H". Then, the nurse came and he got his Hep A shot, which he was less than trilled, but was over quick. We spent a bit of time in the waiting room looking at the fish one last time and playing with the toys since there was no chance on the way in since we got there right at our appointment time.

The stats are as follows:
Head - 19 1/2 in., 65%
Height - 37 in., 94%
Weight - 27 lbs 13 oz., 50%

Previously, he was 51% for head circ., 95% for length, and 30% for weight (18 mo.). So, in 6 months, he gained 3 lbs. and grew 3 inches.

We ate In and Out in the car on the way home, hung out a bit, and both went to bed early. He's slept peacefully all night long for the first time in forever and I've been up for hours. Both the dogs were a bit unsettled as well and City is always happy for middle of the night attention and activites after sun bathing all day, but they have settled after Shadow got up and drank some water and went outside for a potty break (she's having one of her bad days) and Nikki chased something out of our back yard (presumably a possium) and I'm still up and awake...sadly.

After lying awake for about an hour, I decided to get on the computer and one of the emails I read was that I think they found a new forever home for Nikki. The family doesn't have their home study until next Tuesday so it would be a week or so before she actually was adopted. It does seem like a good home for Nikki, but we will be sad to see her go. It appears to be a single woman, who only works three 12 hour days a week in an appartment with no other pets except a fish and who would get a dog walker for the days she works and would love Nikki to death the rest of the time. I kind of wanted to see her go to a man as I think she just lights up a bit more when they are around, but this would be a good home for her as long as she is fine with Nikki taking up residence on the couch when she is gone.
