Grayson turns 6!

Grayson turns 6!  

The last 6 years have gone by so quickly.  You have become such an amazing little boy and make us so proud.  You are very kind, caring, sweet, loving, funny, smart and handsome.  You are very talented at building things, especially when you play Minecraft.  The things you create are truly magical.  We have no idea how you do it, but it sure is fun to watch.  You have an incredible imagination that will serve you well in the future.  You are so bright and continue to amaze us with your inquisitive mind.  You are such a sweet big brother to Liam (and little brother to Julia and Ethan).  You know how to help at just the right times.  You tell Liam you will play minecraft with him if he listens to me, etc.  It is really cute to watch you take on the big brother role.  I learn from you every day.  I can't imagine what you will be doing next year.  

6 year visit with Dr Cherian:

 His 6 year appointment went well with Dr Danielle Cherian (my BFFs older sister), but his height and weight were a little under the percentile he was for last year.  After talking to his doctor, we decided it was best to see the endocrinologist to make sure everything was okay.  It was definitely reassuring going to the endocrinologist, as they have a more accurate measuring system.  He was 33 pounds (24th percentile) in weight and 39 inches (22nd percentile) for height.  His blood pressure was 90/55, pulse 86, and BMI was 15.25 (36th percentile).  When we saw his regular doctor, his weight was in the 10th percentile and his height was in the 12th percentile, which caused concern.  It was definitely reassuring to get it measured again by the actual doctor (the nurses did it at his regular doctor checkup) with more accurate machines.  Grayson did great at his appointment even though he had to get a bone x-ray (very easy) and blood work done (not very easy).

We love you so much Grayson and are so proud of the amazing young man you have become.  We can't wait to see you grow the next year.
