6 Feet Tall

Well, it may be an old wives' tale, but supposedly one can determine a child's adult height by doubling the height at 24 months. Braden probably won't be a linebacker, but we're just thankful he is healthy and falls within the normal ranges for height and weight.
Braden weighs in at a lean, yet healthy 28 (and a 1/2) lbs. He's 36 (and a 1/4) inches tall, so the doctor predicts he will likely be about 6' when he's fully grown. Braden's head circumference is 20'' which means he has a big brain like his mommy....hey, I'm just reporting what the doctor said!
Braden was excited to stand on the big scale instead of having to lay on the baby scale.
Getting creative in the exam room while waiting for the doctor. It's amazing how Braden always remembers there are suckers in a jar on the counter. Fortunately he was entertained with a "hand balloon," as Braden called the inflated latex glove.
Braden's expression changed as soon as Dr. Du mentioned he had to get shots. Braden was a total sport & handled the shots like a big boy!
Dr. Du Du Du, as Braden calls her, rewarded her well-behaved patient with the long-awaited sucker.
