Mimz and I had to hurry this morning.  Her alarm clock did not go off  until 7:20 and we had to get to my 8:30am well-baby check up with Dr. Lacour.
I wanted to wear Mimz big sun bonnet in the car and the police car is one of my gifts from Mimz.
We made it to our appointment on time.  Barbara was there with her camera.
I still remember what fun it was sitting up high on this unusual seat.
When they called my name the first thing we did was take my measurements.
My weight:   27 pounds  (38 percentile)
My height:   34 1/4 inches   (47 percentile)   We are going to remeasure me.  I was standing up when I was measured and I might not have been standing up nice and tall.
My head circumference:  49 1/2 cm  (72 percentile)  Which means my brain is still growing.
 While waiting Mimz and I reviewed our list of questions for the doctor.
I played with the magnetic toys on the wall.
I was timid and a little unhappy at first, but it did not take me long to let Dr. Lacour do his job.
 He said my heart was great.

 All my body parts checked out just fine. 
Mimz and Barbara asked him several questions.
For my Cradle Cap we need to get some Selsun Blue shampoo.  Cradle Cap will come and go until I am 4 or 5 years old.
I have all 20 of my baby teeth.  I was early getting my first teeth and am early getting all of my baby teeth in.  I do not need to see a dentist until I am 4 or 5 unless some problem arises. 
My little "knock knees" are okay.  It is common and will correct itself.
My night sweats and my night twitches are also normal.
I am to start drinking 2 percent milk instead of whole milk.
I have sensitive skin and bugs love to bite me.   My care keepers are to put a thin layer of Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream on my bites and scratches twice a day.  Mommy and Barbara plans to do this when I fall asleep for my nap and at bedtime, so I will not try to rub it off.
And once in a while I need some help.... so the suggested help was Miralax.
My only real concern is that I am not talking.  I should be saying about 50 words and I only say a couple.  I jabber, but not real words.  So Dr. Lacour is going to have me see a specialist.  It may not be a problem, but we are going to check me out to make sure I am just a slow starter.  I have heard that Albert Einstein was four years old before he started talking.
My next scheduled well-baby checkup is at age 3, so I hope I do not need to go see Dr. Lacour for another full year.  I gave Dr. Lacour a "high 5" at the end of my checkup.
Mimz took me to school and I did not cry one bit.   But I did have my very first bad report.  It said "he pulled hair of other kids a lot today."   My teachers said this is just something that two years sometimes do and they put me in Time Out.   When my parents or Mimz or Barbara talk to me about it I seem remorseful, if a two-year-old can be remorseful.
I ate all of my sandwich because the crust was removed.
When Barbara came to pick me up I was sitting in a little car, similar to my little coup.  The teachers  were saying, "Okay, everyone, it is time for us to go inside.  I listened to them and  got out and started to walk towards the classroom, when I turned back around to shut the car door.  I am a pretty conscientious little guy.
The rest of the day was pretty routine.  Oh, I did help Mommy get out our Halloween decorations.  We will decorate over the next few days.  I wonder what I want to be for Halloween.....
