Today was Jacob's 3-yr check up.
He was just plain hateful today. Not sure if he wasn't feeling well (he's had this monster cold for 3 weeks now) or if it was because he got his nap interupted. Probably both. Whatever it was, he was showing his true 3-year old colors. It was kinda funny. When his pedi walked in, right away she said, "Well, I see he's a normal 3 year old"...lol (she had heard him before even coming into the room...yikes!). We had delayed a few of his vaccines and were going to go ahead and get them taken care of that day, but due to his hatefulness (that's a word, right?!), the pedi recommended that we wait until next year. Fine by me. He refused to get on the scale or stand up to be measured, so our best guess (with him wiggling around and protesting the entire time) was that he is 38 inches tall and 32#. Both of those measurements put him in the 60th %'ile. His head...well, that's a whole other story. His head measured 52 cm, which is in the 95th %'ile. I believe we have a walking stick figure on our hands.
The pedi actually said, "I don't know how he doesn't fall over more"...as she was laughing.....HAHA! I think it's funny (does that make me a bad mom?!). And, um, I have the lovely c/s scar to prove it!! But, I just say, "more room for all those brains!". I know he'll grow into it, so that's why we joke. But yeah, both Kyle and I measured our heads and poor lil Jake's head is only 2 inches smaller!
All in all, he's growing normally and she had no concerns. Even his speech is dramatcially improving!!! Yay for a healthy boy!!!
