kenny's big brain
We took Mr. K to the doctor a few weekends back and got his latest vitals: Height = 28" , Weight = 19 lbs, Head Circumference = 18.5". What does this mean? Well, Kenny is hovering around the 25-30th percentile for height and weight, but the 90th percentile for head circumference. Yes, the boy has a big ol' brain, which explains why he is so wicked smart.
Otherwise, all of his functions, etc checked out normal and the doctor was very pleased with his progress. Kenny was even asked to donate some blood for testing and did so with a minimum of screaming and/or fussing. I think the numbing cream they put on his arm helped, but I prefer to chalk it up to the toughness of the boy we call "Ironhead."
Ironhead, you ask? Well, lemme 'splain...
Whereas we all assumed that my brother's son, Adam, would be the one to need a crash helmet at all times due to his father's injury-prone childhood, Kenny is proving to be adept at smacking himself around too. Of course, most of the time he just shakes it off and keeps on going, thus his new moniker of "Ironhead." Overboard and I cringe and gasp every time we see him inadvertently smack his noggin on something, but I can't help feeling a certain sense of pride when he just keeps on going...you know, like a hockey player who refuses to miss his next shift.
I'm just sayin'.
The late, great Craig "Ironhead" Hayward utilizing Kenny's preferred mode of forward motion.
