2 Years 5 Months

We finally made it to the doctor for a 2-year well check-up.
Insurance had us on a slight delay.
So it was inevitable that late last night Gavin woke up sounding AWFUL. Very hoarse, yet not sounding like that of a "barking-seal." He cried. I rocked. And we watched Chuggington into the wee hours of the morning.

THE DOCTOR VISIT

Weight: 37 pounds 6 ounces                 (97 percentile)
Height:  37 1/2 inches                           (85 percentile)
Head Circumference: 20 1/2 inches       (97 percentile)

The nurse asked if we had anyone TALL in our family.
(5 out of 10 people in our immediate family are well over 6 feet)
Strange that's only 50%. Feels higher.
Then the doctor came in.
Diagnosis: Croup.
Doctor orders: prescription steroids.
Poor guy :(

Feelings mutual, buddy.
Buuuut, no shots today. Another two week postponement.
For being such a trooper at the docs, a Happy Meal surprise was just what Mommy ordered.
