Two Years Old

Ryan did well at his two year appointment at the doctors. He did try to leave out the door a few times and the doctor had to stand in front of it so he would not. He also would not let the nurse nor I get his height. Finally, I laid him down to change his diaper with no one in the room and marked his head then his feet on the paper with a pen. Here Come The Terrible Two's!

He is 33 1/2 inches tall and 28.2 lbs. He is in the 55% for his weight.
