2 Year Check Up

Two posts about Mason in one day? Geez....what does he think? That it's his birthday or something? :)

Hannah and Mason started swim lessons yesterday at the gym we go to and they LOVED it! I was worried that Mason wouldn't even wanna get in the water because he seemed a little unsure at first. But once he got in, he was a HAM! He did everything the instructor told him to and loved every second! Hannah's class was next and it's like she never skipped a beat since swimming in our pool last summer. She got a little cocky at one point though...she let go of the wall when the instructor wasn't looking and had a heck of a time keeping just her nose above water. Since I was holding Mason way across the other side of the pool, another mom ran to assist! Hannah told her daddy later that, "I almost DROWNED!"


Here's Mason getting ready for his lesson...I didn't get a picture of Hannah since I was busy dealing with Mason in the hot tub when it was her turn!

Mason also had his 2 year checkup today...conveniently timed on his 2nd birthday! Our fast growing boy is 31 lbs, 35" tall, and is in the 95% percentile for his head size. For those who know his daddy, that last measurement should come as no surprise. Dr. Lorenzen said he's a very healthy perfect boy...and she is "blown away by his vocabulary"! I guess I'm used to well-spoken toddlers with Hannah as my first experience. But Mason wasn't shy to use sentences with the dr and she was quite impressed!


Here's Mason...sleeping peacefully in his car seat BEFORE the appt.

And here's Mason AFTER 3 vaccines and a finger prick to test iron in his blood. He did better with the 3 shots than he did with the little finger prick! Oh, and he HATES bandaids!

After having a COMPLETE 2-year-old meltdown in the car on the way home, I guess he was a little sleepy.
