Blue Camo bandaid and Pink princess pull ups
Yesterday afternoon Jake had his official 2yo check up with the pediatrician. I never go in April around his birthday, it just seems like such a crappy thing to do to a kid. It's your birthday, now let's go get poked and prodded by a doc and take some vaccinations.
I must brag on my boy, he was a stud and such a fun little guy in the doc's office. He played well while waiting in the waiting room, sharing toys with an older little girl. He smiled and waved at people and just charmed everyone. Once in the doc's office the nurse weighed and measured him and commented at least twice on "what a good 2yo he is"! Duh!
Then we went in to see the doc. I love this new pediatrician. She was the one I got the last time we went in when he had a high temp. It was by accident that we got her as I didn't have an appointment that day. But I made sure to ask for her again. She was very complimentary about Jake's attitude and personality. She had no worries about his vocabulary and said don't worry about it, he sounds pretty much on track and you'll find he'll just all of a sudden explode with words.
She also took me seriously when I pointed to a hernia type looking bump on his tummy. Nobody has thought it was a hernia so far. I have no idea what it is, but it bugs me that we don't know. She pushed on it and decided we had better get it ultra sounded. I also showed her this odd bump area on his lower back area that he has also had since birth and she said we should get that ultra sounded at the same time. I like thoroughness without overkill from a doc.
After the doc left the nurse came back with his one shot for the day. He was a champ! First when he saw the syringe he said, "Baby, yep, baby". The nurse gave me a funny look. I had to explain that I vaccinate lambs, "Baby sheep" and therefor he thinks all syringes are for Babies. She thought that was great and really smart. Then he got his shot in his thigh. He gave me a sort of odd look but he didn't cry, didn't even whimper. And after she put the bandaid on, he said, "all done". She gave him a high five and then he gave her a thumbs up. So fricking adorable!
With my pregnancy brain, I made the mistake of buying girl pull ups instead of boy pull ups. Now that's not such a big deal, except I bought them at Costco which means I have a ton of pink princess pull ups for my boy. So funny! He's got his blue camo bandaid from his shot and pink princess pull ups. But I think he pulls it off well.
He really is beautiful :)

He is a very beautiful boy! You may not want to show him that we are all calling him beautiful, he might start to get a complex when you couple that with the princess pull-ups! LOL

I love it!!! MAM was less than cooperative for the weighing and the measuring and the shots...I bet Jake was cool because he sees the sheep getting shots (also, he is more manly:) )
Love the Princess pull ups paired with the camo bandaid. Classic!!

That is great he was a champ and didn't even whimper! Go Jake! I had to laugh about the pull ups because i bought Connor pink princess ones too. They didn't have blue in his size for the "cool alert" kind and thats the ones I wanted. I realized afterwards the "coolness" must not have effected him because he never told me he was wet or cold. lol
Anyways I love the pics of Jake! He is so adorable! Don't feel bad because Connor's legs are full of bruises too. I have no idea how he gets them either!

He's adorable. Glad to hear he's smart and healthy and happy. :) :)
