Rock of Love with Dylan

I am a few days behind posting this, but I wanted to wait until Dylan had his checkup so I could include his weight and height. He is 20lbs, 15oz, which is the 8th percentile and is 32.25 inches tall, which is the 82nd percentile. The doctor wants us back in 2 weeks to do a weight check. If he continues to drop in percentiles, she wants to do some lab tests to make sure nothing is abnormal. I chalk it up to being overly active and not really caring about eating. What am I to do, shove chocolate cake down him and strap him down so he gains weight. Ugh. Oh well, at least he's growing taller.

He's such a good child. I am so pleased how he plays independently and how well he plays with me and other children. He doesn't mind when I drop him off at childcare whether it be at the gym, church or if I have a sitter watch him. He's a great sleeper for the most part. He goes to bed at 8:00ish without crying and wakes up usually around 6:30. He holds my hand when we are out and about (for the most part) and enjoys being outside and playing. He is definitely the monkey see, monkey do type. I love him so much and can't wait until he's a little older when he can enjoy so much more. I just hope it doesn't go by too fast.

Now, don't get me wrong. He's not an angel all the time. While I was in Africa, he started throwing more temper tantrums, but he's getting that under control. Let's hope the terrible 2's don't kick in soon.
