Happy New Year! We spent a great holiday visiting both sides of our family, and James loved wreaking havoc and making a racket in so many different homes. Also, all the toys he got - he loves those too. His playroom is growing ever bigger and eating into our kitchen, bit by bit.
Today was declared officially a snow day in NYC, and schools were closed so Peter had the day off. But not the opportunity to sleep in - James had 2 doctor appointments scheduled today, and with the snow piling up in NYC, we left bright and early in anticipation of delays. 6 am wakeup to check on school closure, 7 am check in with the doctors to see if they still plan to show up, 8 am departure. The commute was not so arduous though, and the waiting room was empty. Apparently everyone else cancels appointments in a snowstorm, but not me - it took me ages to get a specialist visit scheduled and synced with the pediatrician and I was not going to try to wrestle with the calendar again! So, into the snowy city we went.
James is 19 lbs, 11 oz and almost 33 inches tall. This means... still barely scraping the bottom of the weight curve, but he's in the 60 percentile range for height. Beyond the numbers, we got all good news: he looks and sounds good. The nutritionist thinks he's eating fine. She even ok'd his potato chip-and-chocolate snack preferences.
The best part of the day? He fell asleep as soon as we left appointment #2, and slept solidly through lunch, allowing Peter and I to have a peaceful date at a Upper West Side restaurant we found last year. Thank you, 2014; I like what you did there.
