5 year well check!

it is really hard to believe that i just took jack to his five year well check, but low and behold here we are!? he is doing great, and growing like a weed. he is 45 inches and 45 pounds. he grew five inches since last year alone!

*sidenote: mike is chuckling behind me because he realized if his height/weight ratio were identical, he would be over eighteen feet tall-lol!?

we did test his iron again, because he seemed to be lethargic and run down lately-we're on his 3rd ear infection in two months! we also tested to see his levels in regards to the ppsv23 vaccine. his iron levels came back fine, on the lower end, but still within range. however, he is deficient where the ppsv23 is concerned. his doctor thinks this may be why he has had a bout of ear infections, as well as other colds recently. so we will be getting a booster of the ppsv23. fingers crossed this does the trick, and his little body is better equipped at warding off all these viruses.
