A visit to the Doctor

We took Deric in for his check up & vaccination. I usually take a blanket due to the chilly temperatures in the Dr's office but I forgot so I put a
hoodie on him. The Dr said, "Oh my, look at you Deric, u look so cool in your hoodie." LOL!

I thought, look its chilly in ur freakin office lady, where you require children to wait for you naked. Any who, Deric was not very happy about the whole situation.

Deric has been at the top 97% for height, weight, & head circumference for babies his age since birth (PS- he was born 1month early). At his 12month check up he exceeded the 100% & I quote from the Dr, "Wow, he is off the charts!" This had never been a problem til now, the Dr is concerned about his rapid growth.

She said he could have a brain tumor pushing down on growth hormone causing rapid growth. She would like to speak to a Specialist at the Children's Hospital before referring us. She contacted us the next day to say the Specialist said, "If Dad is tall, & Mom is tall, more than likely, baby is going to be tall." That was one of those duh moments but, better safe than sorry.
