Tyson's 2 year check-up

Tyson had his 2 year well child check today. Boy was it fun. He weighs 27lbs putting him in 45th percentile for weight. He is checking it at 35 inches tall putting him in the 75th percentile for height. Tall and skinny. I can't remember what his head measured in at...it's a big nog that's for sure!
This was our first visit with our new Pediatrician. Derick's long time friend is a nurse at this office and recommended him. Poor Berg had to be the mean one and give Tyson 2 shots; his Hep A and the first of 2 flu shots! We get to go back in 30 days for the second flu shot-if anyone would like to go in my place feel free to call :) Tyson screamed the minute we left the waiting room to go back to the exam room and didn't stop for more than 3 minutes at a time for the entire exam. He hates being poked and prodded, his head, his ears, the doctor listening to his heart. It took me using my entire upper body to hold his legs down and Derick at the other end holding his arms down for the doctor to look in Tyson's ears! You would have thought the kid was being beaten!! Then came the shots, and lets just say they didn't go over well. But he's alive and kicking and most importantly healthy and right on mark for development, so we're pleased!! We don't have to go back until he's 3 and no more shots until Kindergarten! YAY!
