Happy Mother's Day & 3 Year Check-Up

Mother's Day 2009 was a beautiful day. Matt figured out a way to combine golf and the special day by taking us to the Par 3 course. (Sneaky)

Look at this shot! It was nearly a hole-in-one, most certainly a Birdie....go Gaga:)

Devin and I spent some time inspecting the stream and throwing rocks...I'm sure the water is full of hazardous chemicals and e.coli, but it looked and sounded pretty.

At 12 noon, we realized getting into a restaurant was going to be a challenge. Our end of town turns into Loony Tune land around any commercialized holiday. Seriously, the Summit was gridlocked.

Dev noticed Steak n' Shake & shouted, "that would be fun!"

It was. We were seated right away and enjoyed the cheap eats.

I gardened while Matt & Devin both slept the afternoon away. Golf is tiring! Matt fixed homemade pizza for dinner while Dev and I planted some tomatoes, cucumbers and watermelon.

Dev's 3 Year Check up was today. Some stats:

She's 33.8 lbs (72nd percentile...meaning about 75% of American children at her age weigh less)

She's 38" tall (78th percentile...about 80% of American children are shorter)

Combined, she has a healthy height/weight ratio and is right where she should be.

So, that wasn't news...she's clearly taller than other kids her age and eats like a horse most of the time.

She's stayed consistent with one thing...her head size! She's got mama's big ol' melon. I can't remember the number, but her head size in the 90th percentile. Meaning...just about everyone has a smaller head than Devin. More room for brains, I say! Seriously though, it's well within the "normal" range, as a very large (or growing) head can indicate certain problems.

We did a finger stick to check her blood counts, which were all normal. She handled it like a pro.

Everything else was perfect...which I already knew.
