Just like Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story, JJ thinks that he should be able to fly, but can't! Every time he jumps off the couch he yells, "To infinity and beyond!" Hopefully he doesn't break his arm like Buzz did! I know, not the safest activity but when I'm cooking dinner and have been with JJ for myself for so long he kind of wears me down and can do almost anything he wants.
Sitting in his pillow "cave" that he created while I was eating dinner by myself, yet again.
We had to take JJ to the doctor yesterday because he was showing the "classic" signs of allergies, i.e. congestion, "allergy eyes," constantly rubbing his nose, small cough, not sleeping, not eating dinner, wait, those last two are just because he's JJ but the sleeping had gotten worse because he couldn't breath out of his nose at night. So, after a pretty long appointment with the doctor, JJ is now on children's Zyrtec. Allergies definitely run in our family, so JJ didn't really stand a chance.
They measured JJ at the appointment and he is now 33 pounds and 3' 3" (very easy to remember!). He is in the 80th percentile for weight and 92nd for height. We're sure that his head is off the chart, but they didn't measure it this time : ) We saw a new pediatrician and when he came into the room he asked JJ how old he is. JJ answered very clearly "2" at which the doctor then turned to us for confirmation and also reviewed his chart to confirm this was correct. We assured him that it was and the doctor then said, "wow, you're very smart, verbal, and big for only being 2!" Everyone keeps saying how big he is and how he speaks so well for his age but as my mom keeps pointing out, to us he's just JJ.

And a very smart JJ he is for sure!!!
