Jase's 3 yr old Stats



jase on christmas morning

As of 12/15/10...

Weight (omg I just realized they left everything in kgs, really???)= 97th percentile
Height = 96th percentile

I finally had enough of our old pediatrician and asked around to find a new one. It's a female, and I think she's German (couldn't quite place the accent). She's 100 times better than our old pediatrician. She was VERY thorough and so cute with Jase. Loved it. I think I will take Ian to her for his next appointment.

Anyways, they tested Jase's eyes (my favorite part-it was sooo adorable seeing him stand on the line and take turns covering his eyes and "reading" the shapes off the chart on the other side of the room) and some other basic knowledge (like colors, shapes, counting) and he did great. He got his blood pressure taken for the first time, too (cool). He was a bit silly & shy for some of the stuff, but for the most part he was really cooperative and spoke well. Oh and he got to wear a cute hospital looney tunes gown! At the end the nurse/aid had to give Jase 3 shots to get all caught up. I warned him it was going to hurt a little (must have because he totally cried, it was so sad) and later he told my mom (gramma)that it hurt A LOT. Lol. But he was over it after about 1 or 2 minutes!

He got to go to McDonalds germville playland for his reward. Let me tell you, it was TOUGH to get him to leave. I had to eventually pick up a screaming & kicking Jase under one arm while toting Ian in the carseat in my other arm. I am sure we were quite the sight to be seen! But once I finally tore him away, he did well getting to the car. We got home and he took a super long nap (yes!) so it made the McDonald's trip of terror all worth it :)

He's not due back for another year! Let's hope he stays healthy so he doesn't have to go back before then :)

Jase, 2 yrs +7 months

How cute is my big boy getting? Oh man, I can't even stand it! Good thing he's cute, because he sure can be a little devil at times. He is going through that "independent" stage and "finding his voice," and let me tell you, he sure has found it. I get to hear things like "get away from me!," "go away!," "Nooo, I wanna do it!," on a daily basis. Sigh. But besides all the new-found sassiness, he is just darling and cracks us up! I love his funny personality!I love the look on his face here! He was sitting at his "jasey-sized" picnic table ($50 at Sams, best purchase EVER) while I was snapping pics of him! I've been taking so many of Ian lately, so I thought I better catch up on Jasey!
Hammin' it up on the boat just a couple weeks ago...
Here are some things Jase has been up to these days:

• He finally got over his fear of riding the power wheels tractor (thanks grandma). He goes full speed and all over the yard!
• LOVES to do pretty much EVERYTHING by himself. Even if he can't do it, he still wants to do it. This causes some major headbutting from time to time. I try to let him do as much as possible, but sometimes I just do NOT have the patience.
• Shows ZERO interest in potty training. Ok wait, not exactly true. He has tried to go a couple of times but nothing has happened. I haven't really pushed it too much just bc I am really busy with Ian and don't have the time to dedicate to it just yet anyways.
• Had his first major ear infection last week. What a mess! He had a super high fever (103) for 2 days so I called the doctor. Both ears were infected and both ear drums had ruptured! Poor baby! He was MISERABLE. So was I. We are almost done with the round of antibiotics and ear drops and he's doing much better. But he still has the stinkin' lingering cough (3+ weeks now) that caused the ear infections in the first place! Geez!
• He loves to say "one more time" and "last time" about 1,000 times to get you to do whatever it is he wants you to do like a billion times. But he says the word "time" in the cutest way, so it's entertaining when he does it. :)
  
• He asks you the same question about 50 times in a row (so fun, not).
• He'll say funny stuff like "I lost my mom" or "I lost my shoes" if he can't find me or them.
• He knows all of our full names. So adorable.
  
• He is wearing a size 4T in shirts and 3T in pants now. Size 8 to 8.5 for shoes!
• When Ian cries, he will tell me "Mom, go check on the baby!," or "Mom, go give the baby his nunu (binky)." Sometimes he'll even cover his ears.
• If he wants me to do something and I'm holding the baby, he'll say, "Mom, can you put Ian down?," or "Mom, go put Ian in his seat!" Heh heh. Bossy little thing, ain't he?
• He loves having Grandma Jenith come visit. She comes up every couple of weeks to help me out. Lately he's really been soaking up the attention bc I've noticed he's finally starting to get a bit "jealous" of how much of my time Ian takes up. Of course this makes me a bit sad, so I do what I can to make up for it.
• He loves meeting up with Grandma Connie & Grandpa Larry for dinner! He knows right were they live, too. If I drive by he'll say "Hey that's Grandpa's house!"
• He's looking forward to PawPaw Ron's visit (my dad) in a couple weeks! So am I! We don't get to see PawPaw that often, so when he comes up it's a real treat. Jase even remembered that PawPaw had a Blackberry phone from last November. (Reuben got one from work and he said, "Hey that is PawPaw's phone!") I couldn't believe he remembered that!
• He LOVES playing outside!
• His favorite thing to eat is probably pizza.
• He weighs 38.5 lbs. Not sure how tall he is--for sure over 3 ft though. I need to measure him.
