Blake's Four Year Old Check Up

Blake being 4 has been a whirlwind! It is like he turned into a full blown little boy overnight! I almost can't believe it! He is the biggest blessing and is always putting a smile on my face. Little does he know it, but he is a miracle in so many people's lives!!!

Our first check up appointment got cancelled because of some icy weather, so we tried again yesterday! He was such a big boy visiting Dr. Jenna. Talk about time flying.... Dr. Jenna has been seeing Blake since he was 6 months old! We are so lucky to have her!

Blake measured in a 38 pounds! Wow! He is also a little over 3 feet. He will for sure be a tall one. His weight was in the 88th percentile and his height was in the 76th percentile of kids his age.

He had a little common cold this time, so we opted to have his prekindergarten immunizations next time. Thankfully we still have a full year before we have to worry about that!

They also checked his vision for the first time with a picture eye chart. Thankfully he still has great vision. They say his eyes are still developing so we will see what its like next year. Fingers crossed!

Here are a few little facts about our current 4 year old...

• He loves preschool at the Kids Educational Center - now in the Pre-K class with Ms. Sabrina
• He has his best friend Hunter and many other little buddies that he loves to play with.
• He is currently still maintaining his obsession with superheros and that's the theme of his room.
• He also loves legos, building blocks, forts, dinosaurs, and Paw Patrol toys
• He still doesn't like for me to sing but he is starting to enjoy it himself. He loves when the "music man" comes to his preschool class. 
• He still hates for his hair to be touched, washed, or cut.... we do the best we can. Haha. 
• He LOVES his grandparents. They are the best babysitters and do so many fun things with him.
• He sleeps all night... but has the bad habit of climing in mommy's bed everynight to snuggle. I can't complain. :) 
• He only will drink milk and water. Apparently juice is gross. His dentist loves him for that. 
• He does have a sassy personality.... blame me or his red hair. Take your pick. Haha. 
• Outside is his favorite place to be. We have a scooter and bike waiting for the sunshine! 
• We are hoping to start him in a little pre T-Ball class this summer... looks like baseball is his favorite.
•  He is very independent, but is smart enough to know when to have mommy baby him. 
• He is a very sensitive boy... always wanting people to be happy and he hates time out! 
• He is learning to recognize and write his ABC's and actually has homework from preschool!
• He can count to almost 20. 
• We still read a few books every night before bed time. 

As I watch Blake grow up, I couldn't be more proud! I know there are plenty of things that I messed up in my life, but being a mommy to this little boy is one thing I did right! He is perfect. He is smart. He is amazing and I love every moment I have with him!!
