Kids updated height-weight

We met with the new doctor, Dr. Boyd. She called Cadence a little chubby. 🙁 

Cadence is in ~20% by height, ~45% weight. Blake is in 50% by both. Kids got a flu mist instead of a shot, which was great!

Blake potty trained

I started the potty training work with Blake when we went into lockdown in mid March. He had some success peeing on the toilet and then refuse to do it. This past weekend he was able to pee on the toilet for most of the weekend and even pooped on the toilet! Today, (April 22) he completed a full poop on the toilet.

He is doing it for a bobble heads. Now, he is into consumerism and asks to look for stuff on Amazon and for us to buy it.

Go Blake!

He quickly got the hang of peeing and pooping on the toilet. He’s even hold it mostly overnight.

Blakey, full of wonder

Blake is 3! We celebrated his birthday in Cleveland. He was excited for balloons, Spider-Man cake, and presents.

His vocabulary has really improved. He started enjoying puzzles. He still loves superheroes and lining them up. He’s experiencing some separation anxiety and follows me around. He loves going out. He dominates the playground and is still the fastest little kid I’ve ever seen.

Height weight

Since I’ve forgotten to post updates on height and weight & I was wondering…

Blake at 18 months

Blake is an enthusiastic, physical kid. He jumps, climbs, and enjoys running in open spaces.

He doesn’t really have words, we don’t think. Adam thinks he has none, I’ve heard;

1) mama

2) dada

3) up

4) good (when eating)

5) love

6) cat (aaat)

7) jump

Also, not sure that he consistently uses them. At his doctor’s appointment yesterday, Dr. Brown seemed a bit worried about his lack of speech. She said we could try early intervention if he doesn’t pick up 5 words in a month. I’m not too worried since Bec, Abby, & Joshie didn’t start speaking till 2 years old.

Otherwise, Blake is healthy. He loves to eat fish, broccoli, & kale. He likes opening things with lids and putting things inside other things. He loves playing at the playground after school with the other kids.
