Simon is perfect!

Had a follow up visit with Simon's pediatric endocrinologist today. She was very happy with his growth (he's now 12 lb 11 oz, wow! and 98%ile for height, no wonder he's been outgrowing his clothes like crazy) and his labs, so no changes to his levothyroxine dose for now.

I was a little concerned that his length had shot up to 98th percentile, and that he was possibly a little hyperthyroid (especially given his sleep issues) but given his good weight gain and lack of other symptoms (diarrhea, poor weight gain, labs within normal range) she didn't think that was the case. Also, his night sleep has been decent so that is also a good sign. And since levothyroxine is dosed based on weight for babies he may actually outgrow his current dose in a few weeks, so we have to recheck his levels in about 3 weeks. Another blood draw, sigh. The good news is that they will continue to get further and further apart as he ages.

So basically we have a giant baby. Which I said during our visit ("OMG, he's a giant baby!") -- to which she responded, "No, he's perfect!"

The many faces of Simon while considering attending Cal one day (no pressure!)

Contemplative (hmm, sounds alright..)

Yay! I'm excited!

Too much pressure! I can't take it!
