Baby Boy Milestone 5,678

Our baby boy has reached an significant milestone.  He's always been our long, skinny string bean boy!  The kid is almost 5'4"and weighs 89lbs.  And we were ecstatic about that!  Well this weekend it happened.... the boy can sit in the front seat of the van and turn the airbag ON...all by himself... without a backpack or a friend to help him!  Our little boy is growing up!

3 1/2 inches and 13 pounds!

Took Zack to his yearly sports physical.  We found out he's grown 3 1/2 inches and 13 pounds this year.  He's 5'4 and 89 lbs!  While 13 lbs would be enough to send me into a spiraling descent of depression and a pint of Ben and Jerry's chocolate something or other if it occurred during my physical.... quite the opposite with Zack.  I did an amazing happy dance in the hallway and took that boy straight to 7-11 for slurpees and donuts!  I guess Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and Eggo Waffles will pack on the pounds eventually.  Imagine what we could do if the boy would actually eat some protein and veggies!  Maybe some day....

He can now "officially" get out of his booster seat! :o)  Kidding, he's not really in a booster seat anymore - because he passed the height requirement long ago.  Although legally the weight requirement is 80lbs, so "technically" I could still have made him ride in a booster seat to the 1st day of 7th grade!  :o)  No more... my boy is a BIG boy now!
