Jonah's 2-year Well Check

We just got back from Jonah's well check with Dr. Emm. He is doing very well, and Dr. Emm has no concerns. He is 34 1/2 pounds, and 36" tall. That is 97% in weight and 95% in height. Dr. Emm said with a smile that he might be their biggest 2-year-old in their practice right now. Isn't that wonderful? (not)



He got 1 shot in his left thigh, and the nurse did say, "I've never had such a fight with a two-year-old before. He is so strong!"



So, to wrap up the appointment; he is healthy and BIG, but I don't think anyone is surprised by that.



Patrick was also checked out because he has had a sore throat for the past few days. He has red spots all along the roof of his mouth and throat, and Dr. Emm thought he'd test positive for strep. However, the initial strep test came back negative, and if the culture turns positive overnight, they'll give us a call in the morning.


That wraps up the beginning of Summer Vacation Day 1!

Jonah turns two!

Jonah had his 2nd birthday over the weekend! It's hard to believe that he is two-years-old. Time is flying by, and both boys are getting so big. We had a family celebration, and it was great to see some family that we don't see often enough. Both Molly and Eli (cousins on my side) were here, and they are getting way too big - Eli will be in 7th grade next year! I can't believe it! He was Patrick's age when he was our ring bearer in our wedding! And Molly will be going into 4th grade. Shocking! Also, Aunt Karlene, Aunt Gina, cousin Mia (who will be 4 this summer), Granny, Nana, Papa, Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Beth were all able to come. Jonah had fun with everyone, and he loved his Diego cake!

I am officially on summer vacation, and have been for 3 hours now. :) We haven't done much so far, just relaxing! I think it's about time to stop relaxing for awhile and get some dishes done!

I have some pictures to put up here. Some are from Jonah's party, and others are from the spring, Patrick's spring program from preschool, and the Fun Run that the boys did last Friday.

A rare beautiful day in March.

Pretty sweet ride!


He loves his bike.

Patrick running fast!


Jonah's first time running. He actually didn't run until the last 10 feet; Daddy had to carry him almost all the way around.
