Dr. Visit

We had our 2 Year Check-Up today. The boys had to get up early and weren't very happy. They did their weight & height and the stupid rectal thermometer since the under-arm wasn't working. Braeden had a little fever and the doctor thinks they just got some kind of virus. Everything looked well. The boys grew almost 2 inches each in 6 months. Brennen is in the 95 percentile for his head (HAHA) and Braeden 75. Both boys are in the 75th percentile for height and a little under 50 for weight. I'm sure we are going to have tall skinny boys. Sound like anyone you know? The doctor was concerned about their talking. At 24 months, the boys should have at the minimum 50 words. The boys probably have 25. He is referring us to a speech therapist where we will have consultation. He said we could wait a couple more months, but Beau & I both agreed it wouldn't hurt to start now since in a couple months we don't know where we will be. I called the number to make an appointment, but haven't heard back. It's a little scary. Up to this point the boys have been very healthy and not had any problems. They were a little later than most for walking, but that was considered normal for boys. It's a little upsetting, but I know they know some words and that is encouraging. I think after the consultation I will be a little more comforted. They also did an autism test and everything looked good...No autism. I will update once I know when we will have our appointment for speech therapy.
