In the mean time we did go to the doctor for his two year well baby visit this past week. Peter hasn't been to the doctor for a regular exam in over a year (since his 1 year well baby visit). He really is a very healthy little guy (Thank God). On the growth chart and developmental scale he's scoring right at average which is fine by us! Having a child with special needs brings everything else into perspective! Average and middle-of-the-road sound perfect to me! Peter weighs in at 28 lbs which is the 55th percentile. He is 35 inches tall which is 65th percentile. His gross motor skills are great, he's jumping and climbing up and down stairs, he tries to dress himself and he can undress himself all by himself. Peter is not the slightest bit interested in potty training. The doctor suggested that I put him on the toilet every two hours. I politely smiled and nodded at that bit of advice. He's too busy playing to be bothered with sitting on the potty, he's not showing any signs of being ready to work on potty training. Peter is talking and he has quite a large vocabulary (at least 50-80 words) but he's just starting to put words together to make sentences.
Enjoy these pictures of Peter waiting for the doctor. He's learned to say "cheese" and smile for the camera but it's not nearly as cute as those candid moments.
