Rory's 3 Year Old Well-Check!

   Yes, we had two Dr's appointments this week. Ahh! I asked if they could see both the kids on the same day at the same time and was given two seperate appointments. I was in no mood to argue.

   So today was Rory's 3 year old appointment. It went well. He always behaves when we go somewhere, but he wouldn't show off his skills. He got a little shy and wouldn't talk to the nurses. He just did what they asked of him and was ready to go! We packed a tiny tootsie-roll sucker in his pocket if he did well.

Weight: 35lbs

Height: 37inches

   His stats are good, but apparently could be better! He is a tad short which Hello?!? He has no chance of being 6ft. tall. We know this already! However, I did not think that he was overweight, but apparently he is. By about 4-5lbs. ha! I laught because I think he is perfect and stocky, not overweight. I mean the kid is like a rock! Try picking him up!

   Anywho... so I have always been so proud in the past when he has been in the 75th percentile for weight, but clearly it is nothing to be too proud of. Dr. McCormick told us that we should aim for the 50th percentile and that the 75th percentile is a little on the heavier side. Since childhood obesity is rising and such a large concern these days, she just wanted us to be aware and just keep a watchful eye on his diet and such. She told us to cut back on his cheese intake which is going to be like taking away his favorite toy. He LOVES cheese in every form! He drinks a cup of juice a day and we were told to cut this down to maybe once a week. Poor kid! He's going to get all his favortite things taken away from him! Either way, today's appointment went well and our big boy is just that, one big boy!! And I love it!
