38!!!

That's how many inches tall little man is now!! That's over 3 feet!! I can't believe it but that's what he measured at the Dr.'s office on Thursday. And weighed 37 pounds. No wonder I feel like he's growing up too fast when his head reaches my belly button!

We saw the spine Dr. (orthopedic specialist) for a 6 month check-up on his scoliosis. He got an X-ray to see how well the brace is corrrecting the curve. All we really learned is that he's outgrown his brace & its time for a new one. We expected this b/c his brace is not fitting as well lately. So time for another torture session to get him fitted for a new one :(( But this will be a different type brace (TLSO) & hopefully be easier to put on but harder for Trey to get off b/c all the straps will be in the back.

We can tell by looking at his spine & tracing it w/ our fingers up his back that the curves are better. But the Dr. didn't say anything about that, just that it was time for a new one. She is very nice & gave Trey lots of hugs but is a woman of few words. So the news we found out was how tall he is growing.

I captured a sweet moment(between the tantrums & constant running around!) holding his Bolt stuffed animal. Bolt has been his favorite movie for awhile now.
