Levi 2 year checkup!

Wow. What a big boy. Where has 2 years gone? We saw the amazing Dr. Perry (whom Levi, thanks to mom's prompting, has now deemed, "nice guy") for Levi's 2 year checkup and again has come away with a clean bill of health.
Here's his stats:
Weight - 27 lbs. 9 ounces - 45%
Height - 35" - 70%
Head - 19 5/8" - 77%
Dr. Perry said Levi is gaining weight great, so not to worry when, like the finicky toddler he is, he doesn't eat much. He guessed based on his current height that as an adult he'll be around 5'10", which I actually thought was a bit short given the height of his parents, but it is solidly average for an adult male.
We talked extensively with Dr. Perry about many behavior issues. Our main concern lately is Levi has seemed to develop a fearfulness of certain situations. A few things we've tried doing where Levi has cried, screamed and whined to go "home": a toddler birthday party at Gymboree, a show with Chinese acrobats (that lasted about 1 minute), the Barack Obama rally at DU, and just this week, the Butterfly Pavilion. And, of course, going to see Dr. Perry elicited a couple rounds of VERY intense screaming. Dr. Perry said fears around this age are completely normal and some kids just have more of it than others. It's probably also a bit intensified with Levi because it seems to be just part of his temperment - he's a thoughtful, observant kid. He is quite sensitive, but we're looking at it as a positive - we never have any concern about him being aggressive or bullying. He's just such a sweet little guy - it's almost hard to discipline him sometimes because of this!
So...besides that and other "normal" toddler issues, Levi is doing just spectacularly. He continues to be a rock start sleeper (of which we have always been grateful!) and is slowly also learning to play more independently at times which has lately been very helpful for mommy's sanity.
He's talking like crazy and we can tell he's really thinking hard and trying to put sentences together. He'll say things like "play cars please". It's just so darn cute. I got my hair done the other day and Mike taught him to say "pretty mommy" when I got home. I melted right there on the spot. He's just so much fun. Every day is an adventure.
