Doctor, doctor

Took our stud in for his 1 year old check-up this morning. An hour early. Gotta love mommy brain. After we killed an hour by going to Whole Foods, the Post Office and filling up the car with gas, we headed back to Dr Brock's for Jack Stone's appointment. Of course, he was in a good mood the whole time, despite skipping his morning nap. This kid.

He and sissy were having a grand ol' time tearing up the paper on the Dr table. Why in the world is this paper on those tables? Does any kid leave it alone? And if they stay on that paper, does it really prevent the spread germs in these tiny rooms? In our family, that paper serves as a 5-10 minute distraction for the kids, as tearing it into tiny shreds preoccupies them while we wait. It's always fun to clean it up too!
Pounding on this big picture is good entertainment too. I'm sure they just love us there.

Jackson wore his best hairstyle for his appointment. Dr's first words? "What is that hairstyle?" Sorry, we can't help it that rad hair runs in the family!
Stone bone did awesome for his appointment. Impressed the doc with his skills and size, and put on a happy face the whole time, until..........

......his shot. Poor guy.

Didn't cry during the poke, but let everyone know afterwards that it wasn't cool. Sorry bud.
Jackson is one healthy dude. Still topping the charts at 90% for height and weight. 25lbs and 31+ inches. 6 teeth, 4 on top, 2 on the bottom (half of those came in Georgia by the way! every time we go back there he gets a tooth). He's walking about 5 or so steps til he sits down or grabs on to something. He is gaining his independence and confidence quickly, so he will probably be off in no time. Unfortunately. Kind of.

He's trying to say 3 syllable words, which is adorable. Favorite word? Olivia! Favorite food? Strawberries. Favorite book? Curious George. Favorite song? Ho-Ho-Ho-Hosanna and Twinkle, Twinkle. He loves to swing and will cry every time we leave the park. He also likes to hold his breath when he cries which is NOT awesome.
He dances, he sings, he breakdances.
Also, he's good looking.

Have I bragged enough about him yet?

stats!

Hey Bruiser,

You are bigger than 90% of babies at 4 months. At least I think that's what the growth charts mean. You are in the 90th percentile for height and weight, which means we expect nothing short of a full ride athletic scholarship in the sport of your choice at any D1 university.

4 month stats
Height: 26.5 inches
Weight: 17 POUNDS!!

You did great at the doctor. Smiled and talked to Dr. Brock the whole visit. And the shot? What shot? You didn't even notice a teeny tiny needle poking that thigh. So awesome.

We love you. Every single roll on your little body.

1 Month Stats

Whoa, buddy, slow down!!! We took Jackson in for his 1 month check-up today with Dr Brock and Jackson has GROWN. What a big boy. Apparently my boobies are doing their job, quite well ;)

1 Month Stats
Weight: 9 lbs, 15 oz
Length: 22 inches

He gained 2 pounds in a month and grew 1.5 inches. He is healthy, beautiful and strong. And big sis? Well, she loved that the Dr poked at someone other than her this time. She helped listen to brother's "heart beep" ...

Jackson was an angel during the whole appointment, wide awake and happy. He made a quick squawk when getting his shot, otherwise didn't make a peep. Keep growing little buddy, you are one handsome dude. Happy one month!
