My Big Boy!!!

This morning I took Thatcher for his 2 year old check up. I can not believe how big he is getting. He is 35 inches tall (75%) and weighs 30 lbs (60%). I asked the doctor if it is true that you can double their height when they are 2 and that is how tall they will be. She said yes, and she expects Thatcher to be 5'11" or 6'! So apparently I will have two tall boys! She also asked some basic questions assessing his development, like does he take clothes off, can you understand him half the time when he talks and if he is putting 2 words together. I said he puts like 3 words together. And she said that he talks very well and most 2 year olds do not talk this well. Then it was time for his shots. I was dreading this part. I told Thatcher that he would get two little pokes and then he could have a lollipop. So the nurse told him there would be a little poke and he said ok. So she gave him the first shot and he says "Owww" in his cute little voice. Then she gives him the second shot and he says "pop" because it was time for his lollipop. I was so proud of him... no tears! He is such a big boy!

One thing Thatcher is doing lately that is driving me crazy is confusing his colors. He knows all the names of the colors but he does not know the color itself, except for yellow. So when he is eating dinner he wants a green spoon. So I will give him a green spoon and he says No, not purple, green!! It is so frustrating and so cute at the same time!
