What a great Friday!

The moment I have been waiting for for 10 and a half months has arrived! My son is finally saying Mama! Not sure if he associates it 100% with me, but if he is in his playpen and wants to get out he shouts "MAMA"! I love it!
We had a ped appointment for him yesterday, and we go to the Tiny Tots clinic about 40 minutes away from here. They are basically the only place accepting new patients. Its a semi private clinic and I have to pay 10$ per visit, but they are really awesome! You can get same day appointments if you need and all their specialists are on-site so you can get referrals for whatever you need right there!
Anyway they did the usual questionnaire about milestones, eating habits, sleeping habits ect. Then we moved on to the height and weight stuff. Now P has always been above the average as far as height and weight, considering he was born at almost 10 pounds and was just short of 2 feet long! His previous appointment at 6 months he weight 18 pounds so when she weighed him yesterday I was expecting 25lbs +. He was only 20.5 pounds? He had dropped from the 70th percentile to the 30th? I wasnt panicking by any means because I know he eats like crazy and is definitely healthy, but I was taken back? Like what is going on here?

When the doctor looked at his chart she reassured me that everything was fine. She said that babies fluctuate curves for the first 2 years until they find their stable curve which is determined by genetics. She explained that because he was born a bigger baby he has sort of leveled out, if he had continued on that curve he would be an overweight baby.Since I am only 5'1 and Mike is 6 foot, he most probably wont be a 7' basketball player so his weight would have had to plateau at some point to correspond with his height! So just wanted to tell you moms and dads in case that ever happens to you, its normal!

Next up is my newest sewing project! I found a tutorial online and made this delightful little pocketed book for my sewing pins and accessories!


Not straight or perfect by any means! But cute right? :)
