Jayden and I headed down to Orange County for his three year check-up with our favorite pediatrician, Dr. Ball. My mom was super helpful by keeping Eli here so Jayden and I could enjoy some Mommy and Jayden time. It was wonderful to see Dr. Ball. We just adore him!
After his check-up we headed to see "Baby Charlie" and "Baby Eva." Our friends Kevin and Stacey live in Rancho Santa Margarita, where we used to live and have two little twins, Charlie and Eva (Charlie pictured in birthday party post below). We went on a nice walk around the RSM lake, complete with a trip to Starbucks. This is the lake I used to walk around with Jayden everyday when he was a small baby. I have a lot of sentimental attachment to it and to that Starbucks, to say the least. It was great to be back and enjoy the pretty walk, and the wonderful company of Stacey, Charlie, and Eva!!
So, without further ado, here are Jayden's stats:
Height: 38.5 inches (85th percentile)
Weight: 30 pounds, 8 ounces (60th percentile)
On the BMI chart (height to weight ratio), he's in the 25th percentile. So still long and skinny. But we knew that!! Other than that, he's doing well. Dr. Ball confirmed for me that he has asthma, as his many nebulizer treatments would indicate. So we're hoping its something he outgrows sooner rather than later. He gave us some precautionary measures to take as well to keep him from going into respiratory distress, as he has done in the past. All in all, a good check-up! The highlight for me was when Dr. Ball asked Jayden what his favorite food is and he said, "Ummmm...lollipops!!" and Dr. Ball said, "Well at least I know he wasn't coached on what to say on the drive down!"
We love you, Dr. Ball!! Great to see you.
