Micah's 2-Year Old Well Visit

Last Thursday Justin took Micah in for his 2-year old well-visit. They tested his hemoglobin and only gave him one shot. He seems to be in perfect health and developing right on track, and we are thankful for these blessings.
Here are his most recent stats:
Height- (35.5 in.- 77%)  I was kind of surprised that he was not in the 90% for height because his sister has been there since day 1, but Dr. Moore says that she predicts he is going to hit a major growth spurt in late-elementary or middle school that will shoot him well back up into the 90% range...either way he will look perfect to his mama.
Weight- (28.5 lbs.- 55%)
Head Circumference- (52 cm- 97%...WOW!) I promise he does not look like he has a freakishly large head, but evidently...he does!
Some of my blogging friends are really good at making lists of what their baby does at different stages. I don't know that I am ambitious enough to try a top 10, but I am going to try a top 5.
1.) Micah has learned a lot from his sister. He copies everything she does...facial expressions, words/sentences/phrases. If she says it and it gets a laugh, he will too.
2.) He loves to play with balls in the yard, the house...the car. You get the point.
3.) Some of his favorite foods now are apples, bananas, popcorn and eggs.
4.) Even though he has had his hair cut twice, he still has those sweet blond curls that I love.
5.) He loves to be read to, but lately he insists on holding the book and "reading" to us. He has picked this up from Madeleine because she is right on the brink of taking off with her independent reading. He sees her holding books and reading pictures to us, so he tries to do the same. He is one smart cookie, and we could not be prouder of our little Micah Boo.
