Visit to Dr. Garrard...

In the waiting room...



Notice his book! He is totally addicted to Thomas the Train and Cars!
Brooks had his 20 month well-check visit with Dr. Garrard last week. Unfortunately, he has finally figured out what goes down at the doctor's office. As soon as the nurse opened the door and called his name (Well, actually she said Ryan! She never calls him by the right name! Ughh!), he hid behind my legs and balled. Melt my heart! He knew she was going to stick him with that needle! As soon as Dr. Garrard came in, he calmed down. We really have a wonderful pediatrician and Brooks adores him! He immediately began showing him his Lightning McQueen and Mater toys. Then, Dr. Garrard let Brooks tell him all about his book. "McQueen....jump....crash....kachow....uh oh....go fast!" He said he's never seen someone his age that could "read" like that! I was very proud! My bubble was burst rather quickly though. Next, he asked what animal sounds he knew. Let's just say we're working on that now! All in all, it was a successful visit. Brooks is 33.5 inches and 25.8 pounds, which puts him above average for his height and average for his weight.
