Had a well-baby check up yesterday, and he is declared fine and fit. He measures up to be 26# (~70%), 32" (~65%), and 49 cm HC (~90%). This surprises me because he seems much bigger than that, but, you know, oddities of growth charts and measurements, and there he stands.
As a day in the life -
This morning i put him in his backpack, and we walked up the hill with the dogs to get coffee. He so adores being outside that this has been a good activity for us to do while the girl is at school. He eats squash bread and gets crumbs in my hair while we walk home.
Once home i say 'Hey bud, lets go downstairs', so he runs to the door and starts rattling it. When we get to basement i start loading laundry, and he runs to the drum set and starts drumming. By the time i'm done with the laundry i find him in the room with a microphone in his mouth and a drum stick in each hand. He seems happy so i sit down in front of my computer to check the weather report for making plans tomorrow, forcing me to remind him not to play with the computer, so he goes to visit his favorite buddy - the vacuum cleaner. Then i run back to the freezer to pull out something for dinner tonight. When i return to get him from the other room he jumps as i enter, giving me the world's guiltiest look as i catch him playing with my computer. (I think he may have installed a new browser or something - i haven't had a chance to look at it yet.)
Shortly after that we need to get in the car to go retrieve the girl from school. He fights this type of confinement with all of his might, until i utter the magic words 'we are going to go get your sister, and your bun'. (On Tuesdays they make bread at school, and Mr. gets his own bun. He ADORES his bun. Almost as much as he ADORES his sister.)
And that's life. He is running, and climbing. His most reliable words are 'quack quack quack'. And 'Dada'. He is probably less verbal, but more physical, than the girl was at his age. And i live for the quiet moments when he agrees to snuggle for a bit.
