Three Year Check-Up and Updates

I just realized that I never posted the results from David's three year checkup. So- as of last October - here is how our little guy is doing:

Weight - 35lbs (75th percentile but normal for his height)
Length - 38 3/4" (85th percentile)
BMI - 16.4 (55th percentile)

In general, David is a pretty awesome kid, but he definitely has some weird quirks. For example, he likes  to touch with his nipple when he is stressed (and by "like to" - I mean he must do so or risk the world ending). We actually have to plan his wardrobe around nipple access. And he is not only a nail bitter, he will also bite his toe-nails if given the chance (seriously, it is disgusting). And he likes to have things a certain way and can be quite persistent until he gets them that way (we have no idea where he got such controlling tendencies - I blame Matt because clearly all of mine are still intact). Despite all of his quirks, he is also the most loving and affectionate kid ever. His favorite thing to do is cuddle and give hugs and kisses. Despite having a "reserved" phase, he has now really come into his personality.  He talks to everyone - cashiers, people in the line, random people at the grocery store, kids at the museum - and he has lots to say and lots of questions to be ask (for a period of time, such questions often included whether said person has nipples - but we have finally convinced him that this is not an appropriate question to ask strangers).   It is great that others get to see the amazing personality that we have gotten to know the last few years. He is also full of facts - like he just called Matt into the bedroom to tell him that that apples are smaller than bananas and we don't touch the flame on candles because it would burn our hands. Totally helpful information.

Other current events and favorites:

Favorite books - Where the Wild Things Are; The Places You Will Go; Cat in the Hat; and any book about space. He is obsessed with the solar system. He spent a half hour or more at the space exhibit at the Nature and Science Museum watching the planet displays. We might have a little future astronomer or astronaut on our hands.

Favorite Question - What is [insert any object you can ever think of or see here] made of? He ask this about everything - peanuts, poo-poo, watermelon, meteorites, hair, people (these are the things he asked about today that I can remember)

Favorite Friend - William. William is in David's class and they are best buds. It is pretty much all about William. If David thinks William would do it, then he is all in. We have a "what would William do" line in our house.

Favorite Cartoon - Oso - the special agent bear. He also likes Phineas and Ferb and Olivia.
