Riding a Tricycle & Feeling So Proud

Nathaniel finally surpassed the 3 feet mark in October. At his endocrinologist appointment on Oct 5, 2012 he had finally reached 36.5 inches! It has been a long time coming. He has finally outgrown his 24 months and 2T pants in length, though some of the 3Ts are still a bit loose on the waist for him. His growth is going so well on the growth hormone that his daily dose has already increased to try to keep up with his pace. This is a really good thing!

Here is one of his proud moments recently ... He is now tall enough to reach the pedals on his tricycle and is so proud to be able to ride it on his own. (Side notes - this tricycle was a gift for my oldest cousin, Kevin, from our Betts grandparents over 35 years ago. My 3 Betts cousins, my 2 sisters and I, and our youngest cousin on the Betts side all rode this tricycle. Now Nathaniel is enjoying it as well. He learned to ride it on the 6th anniversary of my Grandma Betts's passing. A great day and way to remember her!)
