That's right! Kaleb is 8 now...I know, time flies! We had his party at the park (again). It's just the perfect place to have a fall birthday party here with the cool weather and no crazy kids or mess in the house.
Here's the birthday boy the morning of his actual birthday.
Yummy cinnamon rolls!!!
Kaleb's 8 yr. well visit was ok. He gained 4 pounds this past year and 1 1/2 inches...but still will only end up around 5'4". Not even close to the 7 feet he wants to be! We are trying really hard to eat some veggies and drink whole milk every day in addition to the Pediasure he is already drinking. His growth has always been an issue and it is just so frustrating!!! I can't help but feel I failed as a parent for getting his G-tube removed too early. I just pray that whatever size he's supposed to be he actually reaches it, he eats a healthy diet, and that he learns to enjoy eating more foods like we do:)
His stats are 39 lbs (.1%), 46 in ((2.5%), and BMI 12.96 (.3%).
Kaleb is still my sweet little boy:) He loves to give hugs and kisses (especially fishy kisses!), have his back rubbed before bed, makes friends super easily, and has a contagious laugh. He is doing very well in school with straight A's (more like straight 100's!) and is such a big boy doing his homework every night by himself. I know I've said this before, but Kaleb LOVES to read. Sometimes we haven't seen him for awhile and he'll be up in his room reading. Or instead of getting ready for school or bed he's reading. Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Pokemon books are his favorite right now. (We've even had to take away his books as a consequence!) Kaleb enjoys playing the Wii or DS and playing with Karson the most...those two boys can play for hours on end!!!
A big thank you to all of our friends and family who helped make this birthday so special for Kaleb:) He is so blessed to have you all in his life! I still can't believe he is 8!!!
