Well

We completed Dax's 3 year well check at the same time as Addy's four month and we could not be more proud of our big boy. There will be a detailed post about him coming soon in honor of his birthday, but I have to brag a little early.

As always, the appointment started with height and weight checks. He is 29.2 pounds (25th percentile) and 37 1/2 inches tall (56th percentile).

Next he had his first blood pressure check. We told him it would feel like a hug on his arm and he was such a champ! Later he even said that was his favorite part of the appointment.

After that, they tested his hearing. The nurse warned us that most three-year-olds do not understand this test and then explained to Dax that he should say beep whenever he hears the beep in his ear. He did awesome!! He immediately responded to the beeps in both ears and the nurse was so impressed she asked us when he had turned three. When she realized that he's not even quite there, she was shocked. Way to go buddy! (Of course we were also thrilled that he passed the hearing test!)

The last new thing was an eye test. At Addy's last appointment Dr. Oie warned us that he would be doing it so we practiced a couple times at home while we played doctor, but it's always different in the room. The nurse was again impressed when Dax knew the letters on the chart versus just pointing to the one that matched and he passed both eyes with flying colors. Hooray!

Once we met with Dr. Oie, she checked him out and sent us home beaming with pride about our healthy, amazing boy.
