So I think I need an update since the last post. We had Alex's doc appointment on friday and it went pretty well. He's doing fine with his weight which was a big relief! He's in the 15% for height and 4 1/2% for weight. The doc was nice and added the half! LOL! She said that if there were any growth abnormalities they usually show up by three so it looks like he's just small. Whew! The funny thing was when they had him undress to his undies. He really didn't want to do that! Then after that he just sat there pouting and wouldn't talk. All he would say was no. The doc said that this kind of action she sees more in boys at this age. She noticed his goofy tic right away. Sometimes if he feels uncomfortable or things just aren't like they normally are he blinks his eyes a lot. She just commented on it and made it seem kind of normal and moved on. That made me feel good! Next we talked about his development and he seems to be doing good. The only thing she seemed a little concerned with was his speech. He knows exactly what he's trying to say but sometimes he just can't form the words right. He actually just recently started trying a lot more! I'll sound words out and he'll repeat me. He used to not do that at all. She gave us a number of some people we could call to get an evaluation to see if he needs speech therapy. She said that the main thing is that he'll probably start to get really frustrated when people can't understand him. So, Nathan and I will talk about this at some point and decide what to do. We'll see. It couldn't hurt anything.

The other thing that's pretty exciting is that Alex pooped in the big potty for the first time! Yeah! He's been pretty much potty trained in the other area for a while now but we just couldn't get him to not poop his pants. He would always do it during nap time when he had his diaper on which wasn't too bad cause it's not a big mess. I've got him up halfway through his nap a few times and put him on the potty but he still wouldn't and as soon as he's back in his room he would do it. So, I put him on the potty a couple days ago and left him there for like a half hour. Finally, when I was on the phone with my mom, he yells me poop big potty! I was so excited! We went to Wally World later that day and bought him a car. He went in the big potty again yesterday too! Hopefully we'll be good now and he could officially be potty trained!
