Ian's Three Year Appointment

Ian had his three-year appointment today. He is about 35 pounds and about 38.5 inches. I say "about" because he refused to stand up, he was slanted and hunched. The 35 pounds is probably accurate, but I think he's taller than he was showing. He's wearing 5T shirts and 4T bottoms, so I know he's a big boy. ;)

His umbilical hernia hasn't shrunk at all, so we finally went ahead and asked for a referral to a surgeon. We will go talk to Dr. Harper on September 17, and then probably set up his surgery shortly after. I'm really not excited for my little boy to get surgery, but it's not going away on its own, unfortunately. Now is probably the optimal time anyway since he's not in daycare or preschool, and Hazen is home with him full-time. It's a good environment for a little one to have to recover from surgery in. Plus, with our insurance changing, it just seems like this is a good time to do it and ensure that changing insurance won't be an issue.

Other than that, he is healthy and normal. He's developmentally where he should be, talking like he should be, active like he should be. Not as potty-trained as we would like him, but that will happen eventually. :)
