Doctor, Doctor


Give me the news! Today was Buby's 'medical clearance' appointment with his ped, and he passed with flying cows. Thursday is the 'pre-op' with the surgeon, where we'll get more deets on anesthesia and recovery. Eye surgery a week from Friday. Buby stood on a big-boy scale, just like the one above, for his weight!

While the patient waited patiently in the exam room, Mama quizzed. And Buby obliged, properly identifying every body part I mentioned--head, eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, teeth, face, neck, hair, shoulders, arms, hands, fingers, knees, legs, foot, toes, tushy, back, AND belly button. Confused elbow with shoulder at first but got it right on the second try. When playing "where is?" he pointed to each piece of furniture in the room, even items he only sees during these visits. When I replied "YES," he clapped so proud. My little receptive prodigy.

Update on teeth: all in except top back two molars on each side. Most painful teething is to come, but then we're done! Maybe a Teath Party when this is all over? Allergic to Penicillin, which of course we knew.
HEIGHT: 35 1/4 inches (nearly 3 ft)

WEIGHT: 32 pounds

Good news on the medical clearance! Impressive stats, too. How did you find out he was allergic to penicillin?
