Today has been a whirlwind of a day, but I wanted to be sure and take a moment to capture Gray's latest stats from his two-year wellness check-up. His growth continues about the same pace -- just over 36 inches in height and 26.2 lbs. in weight. He's actually a little skinnier than at his 18 month visit due to his recent stomach bug (which has hung on for five days now, yikes! but we think it has finally run its course).
If he continues at the same rate of growth, the pediatrician estimates he'll be around 6'1 as an adult, but who knows how accurate that will be in the long run. He does seem taller than most of his classmates right now, which could always slow down as he gets older.
As far as development, the doctor feels Grayson is right on track and he was pleased with his vocabulary. He asked Gray all about his birthday party and what he received. When he didn't respond Michael prompted, "Did you get a bike?" to which Grayson responded, "helmet." I think that won a few points with the doctor for safety and gave him a chuckle.
We also discussed getting an allergy panel test done for Grayson's food allergies. He's still a little young for this, but the doctor referred us to a clinic in OKC that has some allergists which specialize in pediatric testing. I need to look into it a bit more, but I've really been thinking about it a lot lately and would feel better speaking to an allergist about Gray's reactions and the family history of food allergies.
Thankfully, Grayson got the last two of his vaccination shots until he's nearly school-aged, so I'm glad we won't have to deal with that for a while. We declined getting the flu shot since Michael is allergic to it and we didn't know if Gray would have a reaction as well.
Our next wellness visit isn't until the three-year mark which seems so far away. Fingers crossed we'll be able to report to the doctor that he's potty trained by then!
