St. Mary's County Fun

What "county" kids do for fun...
Visiting with "LiLi" and Kathryn last week...
For the longest time B would always say "I fly" while we discussing his day at Pops & Nana's house. I never quit understood what he meant until I saw it for myself...

Poor little bunny!

Brennan has been fighting off a cold/virus for most of the week. We knew something was wrong when he started acting cuddly and actually sat still for more than 3 minutes at a time! Josh took him to see Dr. Miller on Wednesday afternoon, and sure enough, he had a fever of 103.3 degrees. Fortunately, his ears and throat looked fine so it appears that whatever he is fighting is viral and will run its course.

Brennan has been quite a trooper though and doesn't seemed phased by the bug as long as we keep the fever down with Motrin. All in all, he's a pretty good patient...unlike most men! As a special treat, his daddy rented him The Bee Movie and Alvin and the Chipmunks (which we've watched 5 times since Wednesday night!).

Every Little Bit Counts!

Brennan finally went in for his 2-year checkup today. He was supposed to go on Presidents Day (2/18), but his dippy Momma forgot to take him! I was so pre-occupied with taking Big B to the airport that Lil B's appointment slipped my mind. So his "free" well-baby visit ended up costing me $20 in missed appointment fees. Oops!

Needless to say the little guy is healthy and is doing everything a "normal" 2-year old should. He now weighs a whopping 23 pounds (wish I could give him some of my chubbs!) and is 31 1/4" tall...or is he?! You see, when the nurse measured him he wouldn't hold still and I think she just gave up and blurted out a number. I had been looking through Brennan's record book in the waiting room and noticed that at his 18-month appointment he was 31" long, so I knew that the height she gave couldn't possibly be right. Once I saw the doctor, I demanded a re-measure. It turns out that he is actually 32 3/4". MUCH BETTER! So, he is in the 5th percentile for weight and between the 5th and 10th percentile for height. We're just happy that he's on the charts!

The funny part of the appointment was when the nurse had to prick his finger to get blood for his lead test. She pricked his finger and though he didn't cry, he also didn't want to sit there and let her squeeze blood out of him. So we made it a game and said "Look you're coloring; Fill in the circles!", which he was more than happy to do. I just hope that any future injuries don't prompt him to "color" on any walls or furniture!
