You're 7!

And you're such an awesome kid. You open doors for me (cars and buildings). You give the best hugs and kisses. You cuddle. You are funny!

We went to the doctor today. You're 49" tall and 58.6lbs. 68th and 79th percentile a respectively. They declared you perfect. We asked about your nose bleeds. She said to use saline, but you hate that so we will stick with staying hydrated. She didn't see anything in your nose that was troubling. 

One of the best things about our doctor is her garden. In the summer she grows things to encourage kids to pick and try them. You chose eggplant today. One for each kid at home. I can't wait to cook them. 

9 month appointment

Since I keep forgetting...

Key points: 20lbs 11oz (75th percentile) and 29" (also 75th percentile). Head circumference was 46.25 (75%).

She's crazy impressed at his language development and pointed out that she's seeing more and more problems as it seems society is forgetting how to teach children to talk.

She marveled at his cruising around the room with her stool. She said he was strong, personable, and very healthy.

He got one vaccine - his last(?) hepatitis B.

6 month well check

He was 27.5" tall (90%), 18lb 15.4oz (75%), 45.2cm head (90%). The goal at this point is height more than weight so he's doing fine.
