I took him to the doctor for his 3 year check up and as we already knew he is a healthy growing boy.
Height: 40.75 inches (98th percentile); I think this might be a little stretch because of a wiggly kid :-), my measurement is 39.5 inches.
Weight: 37lbs (91st percentile)

Jacob is a very busy 3 year old who rarely stops talking and never stops moving (even when he's sleeping). He is cuddly and observant and curious. He doesn't like to be told no, and likes to spend lots of times at home playing with Mommy, Daddy and Bailey. His vocabulary shocks us daily and continues to grow. He doesn't forget ANYTHING! He's strong willed and sensitive and loves to know what is going on all the times. He's interested in his family and how everyone is related and where they are. He can identify some letters and most numbers 0-10. His imagination is growing exponentially. He is shy around big groups and new people and doesn't like being in the spotlight around anyone outside of the house. He knows how old he is and that his birthday is August 1st. He loves having "shows" singing songs and playing his instruments and being a helper to anyone he can. He tells us he works at USF (where is school is) and he always has "work" to do at home. He is excellent at playing "I Spy", he's recently interested in tennis and he likes to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Daniel Tiger. He is very opinionated about food and the clothes he wears (usually "exercise" pants and a t-shirt). He is afraid of the shower, doesn't like loud noises and asks "who" "what" "where" "when" and "why" questions non-stop. He keeps us on our toes and makes us laugh daily!
