Kyle's One Year Check-Up

Kyle had a great check up. The doctor said he's doing great. His current measurements are:

height:  28.5 inches (13th percentile)

weight:  21 lb 11 oz (34th percentile)

head circumference:  48 cm (89th percentile)

Not the most proportionate kid, but we're thankful that he's happy and healthy!

Exceptional Children

Our children always excel in one area -- weight!  Kyle is no exception.  He had his 2-month check-up yesterday where we weighed in at 14 lbs.  He is in the 93rd percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height.  

The Doctor Was Wrong

Karis had her 4-month doctor appointment today.  The appointment was to check on her overall wellness, to answer any parent questions, and at the end to get some follow-up vaccinations.
The doctor was examining her and looked at her legs.  He grasped her thighs and said, "Well... she may not even feel the shots."  I was hoping there was truth to that.  Check out her thighs:Unfortunately, he was WRONG.  Boy did she feel them!  It was so sad to see her start to wail after the first one and then for the nurse to stick her with two more.  She definitely felt them more than she did with the ones at her 2-month appointment.  Poor thing has one more round of vaccinations in two months.  

I fed her when we got home and then put her to bed early.  I hope she'll feel better in the morning.
