Clark's 1 Year Old Check Up; Mash Up

No posts for a few days. You know. Busy. 

I fully intended to post on Friday, October 5th. What I would have told you is that Clark had his 1 year old doctor's check up. He got 4 shots, plus a flu vaccine. Took them like a CHAMP. Whimper, whimper, got a mommy hug, and then he was fine. Totally pro. He's amazing. 

It made me imagine a comic that goes like this:
A baby clocks out of his baby job at the local playground and then toddles down the street to a place called The Monkey Bar. The baby sits down with some friends, who are all tossing back tequila slammers, and says, "You call those shots? You call THOSE shots? I had my one year old check up today..."

Maybe it's only funny to me. 

Anyhow, Clark is currently 31 3/4 inches long (97th percentile) and 23 lbs 5 oz (80th percentile). But for kids (of whatever age) that are his same height, his weight is in the 35th percentile. So even though he's bigger than most kids his age, he's actually kind of skinny for his height. Nevertheless, he's still gigantic overall, and despite starting on solid food, his growth doesn't seem to be slowing down much.

What I wanted to share for today is Elise's new favorite song. It goes like this...

Old MacDonald had a dog
Name-a name-a name-o
Fee fi, N-G-O
Fee fi, N-G-O
Fee fi, N-G-O
And name-a name-a name-o

She sings it non-stop. You'll notice how she combined several children's songs and stories into one place. There's "Old MacDonald Had a Farm," "B-I-N-G-O," and the phrase "Fee fi fo fum" from Jack and the Beanstalk. Nice work Elise. Good mash up.
