Well-Children

Random side note: February 26th was Easton's due date. A little crazy as his birthday was 7 weeks ago. I predicted he'd be born March 4th. Jason was hoping he'd come on his birthday: March 9th. We were only 2 months off. :)

Anyway, we do have some well-children to talk about who had appointments today. While Easton was at school, the two little ones and I went up to Dr. Groovy's for Autumn's 6 month and Dalton's 3 year visits. First was Dalton.

Here's his stats:
Height: 37.75" (~50th percentile)
Weight: 27 pounds (7th percentile)

Easton weighed 27 pounds at his four year visit. So if Dalton's 7th percentile for a 3 year old you can imagine poor Easton hee hee!

But back to Dalton, he's gained 4 pounds and 4 inches since his 3 year well-visit last year. He got his blood pressure checked today for what I think was the first time. He did great. We have no real concerns about Dalton. Dr. Groovy did say that strangers should be able to understand about 75% of what he says. I was like, "Gosh, I'm not sure strangers understand 75% of what my five year old says." I explained how I'm so used to translating, though, that I'm not sure if people can understand him or not. I know on the phone even Jason and I have a hard time understanding little Diddles. But Dr. Groovy said that sitting there and talking with him he didn't hear any cause for concern. I guess that's good. He doesn't see an issue with his lisp (yet) either.

Dalton was really nervous he'd have to get a shot so he was apprehensive when the doctor picked him up to check him out. When Dr. Groovy listened to his heart and lungs from the front Dalton was fine and then he moved to the back and Dalton was all, "Hmmm, that's strange" (that he was listening back there). :)

They gave us an all-clear form and a shot record for preschool (eek!) but no shots for D. He got himself dressed (he'd put all his clothes in various spots on the toy tool bench in the corner) while Autumn had her turn...


See how she's wearing blue and brown? Potentially very boyish so we added that giant flower and headband. No one called her a boy so I guess that's good.

Anyway, Miss Miss's stats:
Weight: 17 pounds 4 ounces (they say 75th percentile)
Height: 25 1/2 inches (they say 49th percentile)
Head: 17 inches (they say 75th percentile)

She's also right on track developmentally. She got 3 shots and her oral vaccine again. She did not like that but it made a scary spurting sound when the nurse first squirted it in her mouth and I think she was startled more than she hated it. She spit a lot of it out, actually. Then her 3 shots. She didn't even cry for the first one but the last one stings (I hear) and it made her wail. So sad but she recovered quickly and conked out in the car.

We drove through Starbucks on our way back to this side of town and stopped into Old Navy for some new jeans for Easton. The other day I was talking with my friend Tracy about how we love Old Navy jeans. She finds that they wear holes in the knees quickly and I was all, "Wow, I don't think we've ever had a hole in the knee" and, like, 2 days later I noticed a hole in E's JCPenney jeans. So I still love Old Navy jeans. Especially because I bought them today for $10. I bought Autumn a pair too. I don't love to put my babies in jeans because they don't seem all that comfy with all the napping they do but I think everyone needs at least one pair of jeans, right? They're 6-12 month sized but I don't think they'll fit her just yet. They seem quite long. But they flare out at the bottom so she can be all stylish. :) Cuteness!!!

Anyway, that's been our today so far. Adios!
