+ 0 - 0 | § ¶The Tank and BBK
Alex and Jack both had doctor's appointments today. Alex had his 3 year, and Jack had his 2 month visit. It turns out both of them have grown quite a bit lately. The doctor called Jack a "tank" because he's in the top 10th percentile for height, weight, and head size. I had a feeling that he was a big boy, and this just confirms it. He's 14 lbs, 5 oz and 24 inches long. Alex is now in the 75th percentile for height and the 50th percentile for weight! This is such a change for us, because all along we've been fighting to keep him on the charts, let alone be at or above average in size. I guess this shouldn't be too much of a surprise though, seeing how he eats.
We figured that Tank would make a good silly nickname for Jack. We tried to come up with something for Alex, but "Slim" didn't seem to go well. We asked him what he wanted to be called, and he said no to anything we could come up with, and instead said that he was "Alex Norton, Big Boy Kid". So, for now, we're using Big Boy Kid, or BBK for the nickname. Something tells me that that won't stick for too long.
