Nolan's 2 Year Well Visit

Nolan had his 2 year well visit completed today with Dr. Hulsen.  Since Nolan is now two years old, he only needs to have well visits completed once a year.  Nolan was weighed, measured, and vaccinated.  Nolan weighed in at 28 pounds, which places him in 45th percentile for weight and measured 35 3/4 inches tall, which places him in the 80th percentile for height.  I was concerned with Nolan's weight only being in the 45th percentile, but the pediatrician was not worried at all.  She said it is most likely Nolan's build, tall and lean.  As long as Nolan is eating his fruits and veggies, which he is, Dr. Hulsen sees no need for concern!

Nolan is a talking machine! From the time he wakes up until....well he even talks in his sleep sometimes.  I believe he has up to 6 or 7 words in one sentence now.  I recorded him in the car the other day while we were waiting.  He is such a character!  Also, the "why" questions began about a week ago.  Everything is "why mama or why dada?"

Along with talking, Nolan wants to go on the potty so bad!!  He is always running into the bathroom, ripping off his diaper, and yelling "I go pee", but he has already peed in his diaper.  At least we are getting somewhere.  He likes to wear his big boy undies over his diaper.

 Nolan wanted to know where the toilet paper went.  Bill replied, "It went with Nemo"  Now Nolan looks in the toilet for Nemo when he flushes the toilet.

Nolan loves playing with trucks, blocks, and puzzles.  He really enjoys being read to.  The other night I showed him the blog book I printed from 2011.  Nolan really likes looking at pictures of himself when he was a baby.

With the house being in total chaos, Nolan has found a lot of his things that were in storage.  He found his "jacket" and he likes to wear it around the house.  He also found my typodont teeth from school and calls them "dinosaur teeth."  Nolan's imagination has come to life this past month.  He makes his toys interact with each other.  Bill and I lay in bed at night and listen to him make his bear and dinosaur talk to each other.  Occasionally, the snake makes it into the mix too.
