Jake was literally off the charts at his doctor's appointment. His height: three foot eight. He is 44 inches tall. That is quite large for a new four year old. He's above the 100th percentile. He weighed in at 47.5 pounds, but he SO doesn't weigh that -- it's usually 44 or 45 on any scale we use. Again, above the 100th percentile.
The doctor's appointment went REALLY well. I had a long list of things I wanted to talk to the doctor about. Jake pee'd in a cup, so they were able to do a diabetes test, and it was negative. His blood pressure is good. The doctor says I can start giving him Claratin for seasonal allergies and gave me a prescription for a nasal spray for his nose bleeds. They are referring me to an ENT to talk about getting his tongue clipped soon (a simple surgery. Here are details about it.) We talked about a lot of random stuff, but long story short, he says Jake looks great.
Our ped is very helpful and always calm and always nice and great with kids. I could really tell that therapy has been helping Jake with his social anxiety, because he was excited to see the doctor and was actually interacting with him instead of being scared. I think that was the best part of the whole day.
So tall!! What size is he wearing now?

They grow fast, don't they? If they would only stay little!
Jake is so handsome and tall!
