Matty had his 5 year check-up this morning with Dr S. He did great! He was actually excited to go this time...one of his favorite shows right now is Doc McStuffins, so he thought it would be as much fun as the show. He got 2 more of the 5 kindergarten shots today (chicken pox booster & DTP booster), and he didn't even flinch! What a brave boy. When we were walking out through the waiting room, he said, 'those shots were awesome!' I heard a few chuckles as we left.
Here are his 5 year stats:
weight: 42 lbs, 2 oz (55%)...he gained 10 lbs, 4 oz this year! Unbelievable! Last year, he was only in the 11% for weight!
height: 44.2 inches (68%)...he grew 3.2 inches this year. Last year, he was in the 59% for height.
I remember all of the infant appointments where Matty was in the 0% for both weight and height, and I wondered when he would actually get on the curves. Every ounce that he gained was a huge victory. Today was so great to see his awesome progress! The charts compare him to kids born in May'08 (instead of his Sep'08 due date), so he's doing great!
