Cory's three year stats!

Cory had his three year well-check yesterday. We went to a new pediatrician this time. I liked our old pedi well enough, she was just very "energetic" and frankly, she made both Cory and I edgy with her over-zealousness. So, we tried this new pedi and I liked her very, very much. Dr. G was very calm, cool and collected, very laid-back and soft spoken. I enjoy that. :) She was awesome with Cory, asking him questions and taking the time to talk to him about stuff other than the things she was doing to him. I've been very nervous about this appointment; doctors in general make me nervous so it was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders to have it done and over with and to have it go well!

Cory was a super star! He let the nurse and the doctor do everything they needed to do. He was so well behaved. Unfortunately, he was rewarded with four shots. :( It sucked. For him...and for mommy. Thankfully he stopped crying as soon as the nurse was done and then he got five stickers and a lollipop. All was well once again for the toddler. I was still traumatized, but that's OK.

I asked Dr. G about Cory's new stuttering habit. He mostly does it when he's excited, although he sometimes does it just because...but not always. She said not to worry too much about it now but to keep an eye on it. I truly believe it's something he'll grow out of. His brain is working so fast right now I think his mouth is having a hard time keeping up.

In the end, Cory is perfectly healthy and growing just as he should. He is 31 lbs. (42%), 37 1/2 inches tall (50%) and his blood pressure was perfect. Sean and I know how blessed we are to have such a healthy boy, especially after such an interesting start. We are very thankful. Dr. G said she doesn't need to see us again until Cory turns 4! Wow. I don't even want to think about 4 yet!! Lol. :) I'm still getting used to the fact that he's three...
