Two-Year Well-Check...And All is Well...

So while I realize that I still need to do Leo's Two-Year Birthday post, I am going to go ahead and give a quick update with Leo's Dr's appointment information: 

We saw Dr. Mahaffey today (and a medical student who is working with Dr. Mahaffey).  Both of them were very happy with Leo's development in all areas.  I didn't really have any concerns going in to this appointment and it went well.  Leo is doing well physically, cognitively, and emotionally.  He is very active, is very well coordinated, and his speech and language continue to get better and better each day. 

Leo weighs 29.7 lbs (70th %ile) and is 34.75 inches tall (50th %ile). I must say that I think his weight is actually more like 28.5 lbs, he had on a sweatshirt and his shoes when they weighed him today. Either way, I am thrilled that he has completely caught up! All the books say that most preemies catch up by the time they are two.

Dr. Mahaffey mentioned that we might want to have Leo's eyes checked with our eye doctor.  She was concerned that his left eye looked like it might turn in very slightly.  She asked if I had ever noticed, and we have actually noticed it since he was a baby.  It's not all the time, and it's very subtle, but there are times that his eye looks a little crossed, especially in pictures.  I had done a little reading on this issue and the books say that you can test if one of their eyes are crossed (or pointing outward) by shining a light in their eyes and seeing if the reflection in the eyes hits in the same spot on each.  So of course I had already done this with Leo (several months ago) and each and every time the light hits in the same spot on both eyes.  Needless to say, I am not super stressed about it, however we will have it looked at for sure.  Dr. Mahaffey said that it could just be the way his eyes are set, and that it is very subtle.

Here are some recent pics of my little man. He is a complete joy and each day is better than the last...

We've been roasting hot dogs and marshmallows over our little fire pit!

How cute is that little Nike track suit?

Someone found my sun hat and enjoyed wearing it around the house for a while.  He is actually stark naked in this picture and just got done using the potty.  :)

Birthday blog update to come soon...I promise!
