2 year old check-up

Braxton visited the doctor today for his two year old doctor appointment.   Braxton weighs 27 pounds 1 ounce (62% of the kids his age are heavier than him) and is 34.5 inches tall (46% of the kids his age are taller than him).  He had three shots today (we gave Brax the MMR shot on a "delayed schedule" so he got that shot today).  One other item to note...Brax grinds his teeth in his sleep so within the next year he will have a dentist check-up.

At age two there is a formula to predict how tall Braxton will be as an adult.  For all you math geeks here is the formula (for the rest of you--just skip down to the underlined part!):  Take the 2 year old height (34.5 inches) x 2 = 69. Average this number with adult height of mom (67 inches) and adult height of dad (74 inches) add 5 for a boy or subtract 3 for a girl and round to the nearest inch (72 inches).  The calculation tells us that Braxton will be exactly 6 feet tall.  

And - I leave you with a cute photo from bath time today!

    Happy Birthday, Braxton!!!!

    You look very, very good! It's nice to know that physically you're "normal" although I have to say when it comes to musical knowledge and smarts, you're above average! There is a package coming in the mail just for you. Love,

    By the way, I know I'm early on the B-day, but I was afraid I'd forget. -Dordi

    It is good he will probably be a 'long, tall, drink of water' when he grows up. Love the bath picture. He is so happy in the water. Hugs, Gma Debbie
