Check - ups

Blake and Easton both went for well checks today. (Dr. B doesn't like to schedule well checks during asthma and flu time, so this was for Blake's 3 year check and Easton's 12 month check.)

Blake has been worrying for days about getting a shot. I didn't think she was this time, and luckily she was up to date on everything so no shot. She is 40" tall (91st percentile) and weighs 32 pounds (47th percentile). Blake grew 3.5 inches this past year, and I predicted about that much growth based on how short her old pants are! During her checkup, she registered at 99.3 degrees and got quite a reaction when her throat was checked! The doctor couldn't believe she hadn't been complaining of anything hurting. When I looked in her mouth, her tonsils were huge and so red! She tested negative for strep so it just seems to be viral tonsillitis. But she has been acting totally normal, I was caught so off guard!

Easton did get one shot today (penta-something for 5 things... ) He weighs 23 pounds (29th percentile) and is 31.5 inches tall (64th percentile). Dr. B described both kiddos as tall and lean, and says both are well nourished and healthy, just thin! Funny that at 15 months, Blake was only 6 ounces heavier and half an inch taller, but as a girl she's always been in the 90s for height. Easton seems so small compared to my tall girl. Everything checked out great for him, just a little cranky post-shot.

Both kids were all over the place in the exam room: hiding under the table, trying to climb the ladder, in my lap, on the floor... Over and over!
