Doctor's Report

Yesterday I took Branson for his 2 year well child check up. Dr. Cardwell said that he looked great! I asked him about a few "concerns" and he said not to worry about any of them. One of my "concerns" is that Branson can not undress himself. Dr. Cardwell asked if he could do other fine and gross motor skills and I said yes. He said well then... lets consider this a gift! He said that so many kids figure it out and then keeping clothes on them becomes a problem... he said not to worry and that Branson would figure it out in time. Branson's new stats are as follows:
Height: 34 inches (50%)
Weight: 25lbs (25%)
Head: 50% I don't remember the figure.

Dr. Cardwell said that Branson gained a little more weight than he would have liked over this 6 month period (we are talking a pound here!) He said that he would prefer Branson to stay around 10-15%. Who knew my tiny boy needed to start watching his weight already! Brandon was not real happy about this news and said that "Branson is just fine and is not going to be a fat kid and how dare the doctor say..." (simmer down Dada!!) So, doctor recommends switching to 1% or skim milk - Dada says "NO WAY!!! 2% is as low as we go!" (*side note - Brandon HATES skim milk and even 1% - before Branson came along that's all I bought and Brandon thinks it is white water so needless to say he has been thrilled over the last year with me actually buying MILK! Now his reasons are slipping away from him and he is a little perturbed!) Anyhow, Doc said Branson is doing great in all areas and he'll see us next year! (you gotta love it that we don't have to go every three months anymore!)

*oh and NO SHOTS at this visit!!! Branson was very excited!
