We took Ethan for his 2 year check-up this morning. It's always fun to visit Dr. Plewa - he's such a nice guy. The big news, as usual, is Ethan's size - he is off the charts in weight (37 lbs 11 oz) and in the 97th percentile for weight (36 and 3/4 pounds). The Dr. was impressed at his ability to get both feet off the ground when he jumps!
We are still a bit concerned about his language development, so will have him re-evaluated by birth-three soon. The Dr. is pretty sure he will qualify since he is not putting 2 words together yet. Although we have been frustrated with the language, we still get such a kick out of the things he does say . . . lately he has been into saying "ssshhh" and putting his finger up to his mouth, and then whispering everything he says. He is also doing lots of signing and seems to know enough words to communicate with us so he does not get too frustrated. We know that the language will come eventually, and like to think he is just really practicing his listening skills for now . . . :)
