3 year check up

On the Monday, after Cal's party, Cal had his three year check up bright and early.  My mother in law as still in town, so thankfully I didn't have to bring Andy with us.

Cal was weighed and measured-- his first time standing on the scale and standing against the wall-- and walked down the hall like a big boy.  He got a Buzz Lightyear toy for his birthday and insisted that Buzz come with us.  Buzz makes a TON of noise, so it made it interesting to talk to the doctor while Cal and Buzz were chatting, but that was okay.

Cal also had to get his eyes checked this visit.  They started out showing him a bunch of shapes on a piece of paper that he could hold.  He nailed all of the shapes.  Then he had to stand behind a line and identify the shapes that the nurse pointed to.  Cal would smile each time and say "I don't know" to every.single.shape.  He thought it was soooo funny.  The nurse didn't really see the humor.  Sigh.  We have to work on that, I guess...

The doctor checked him out and said everything looked great, thankfully.  I am just so thankful to have a HEALTHY and happy son (two of them!).

Here are his stats from the visit:

Weight: 33 lbs ---- 75th percentile
Height: 38.5 inches ----- 75th-85th percentile
Body Mass Index: ~50%
Blood Pressure: (first time having this checked) 90/58

Dr. Kathy was pleased with everything she saw and again, I am just thrilled for a healthy kiddo! She was amazed that he's only been in for one sick visit.  Hopefully we can keep that up!
