One year check up a month late

Well, we took you for your 1 year check up today and yes we are a month late, so actually you are 13 months and 1 week. You weighed 22lbs, 30 inches long. That put you in the 30th percentile for weight which Heath had a major fit about. Your height was in the 60th percentile. Daddy was hoping for you to weigh closer to 25-26 pounds and Dr. Rodgers would like to see you a little bigger also. I feel like you are a perfect size. I am nervous for my kids to be fat. Fat kids are fat adults!!!! Your left tube fell out of your left ear on Monday while you were at "Big Boy school" (yes I finally got Daddy to agree that you needed some time away from Mommy to have friends) Anyways, like I said your tube fell out of your ear Monday and you also started a small runny nose and a little cough. Today when we took you in, both of your ears were infected. They are setting you back up with the ENT to have new tubes put back in. This mean major mommy anxiety, and lots of tears, when I am actually supposed to be the strong mommy. I am already sad and we haven't even met with the ENT yet. Your last tubes went in when you were 5 months old and they said at the time that you were extremely young to get them but since your left eardrum had rupture twice between the ages of 4 and 5 months they decided tubes was a MUST for you. They said the possibility for another set was pretty good since your ears were so little and you were in a big growth time.
I know you will be fine, but the thought of you being scared and you are surrounded by strangers brings a tear to me. You are in a huge separation anxiety and I am sure the new start of "big boy school" isn't helping.
You seem to like daycare once you are there, but you still cry EVERY morning, and every morning as I drive out I feel guilty for leaving you there. All your teachers love you and you are the oldest so you have made it very clear to the other babies that you are in charge. We wouldn't expect anything else for you.
You are growing so fast and I love the age you are, however you can be a little difficult at times.
You are starting to speak better. Your favorite thing to say is DADDY, DADA, and DAAA which all means you want your daddy. You often walk around the hows repeatedly saying DADDY, DADA, DADDY until your daddy answers you. You pretty much refuse to say mama. You have started to say "shoes" but it sounds more like ssshhooo. You know that if you want to go outside or if you want to go bye bye, that you have to go get your shoes and sit down until I put them on. You have been calling Kaley's name, but it sounds like YA YA. Don't let Kaley fool you. She loves that you address her in anyway. Keegan used to call her "TAY TAY" and she loved that too. Kaley and Keegan love you so much, and love to aggravate the life out of you. You are smart and have learned to fight back. Kaley is ALWAYS in your space, so we usually know when Kaley is by you because you let out a horrible loud scream, even if she is just sitting closer to you than you want. She wants you to want her, instead of you wanting me. So if you fall she rushes to pick you up and then walks the opposite way from me, so that you will hopefully want her instead.
You think Keegan is completely hilarious, and he is. He is completely goofy. Everything he does is weird and he always has funny expressions which keeps you laughing at him. The other day your daddy and I took all 3 of you to the park, and while you were swinging Keegan was acting like your swing was hitting him, and you were laughing so loud at him. Your favorite thing of all time to play with is a ball. Our whole house has balls everywhere, and this is a game that Keegan plays with you all the time.
You have started climbing on things which has caused many bruises on your little head. Your throw everything, and you love to be outside. Your favorite food recently is pizza, yogurt, and of course you are still a HUGE fan of mini Nilla wafers.
We love having you as part of our family, and can remember what we did before you came along. (Except maybe slept a little more!!!)
