Quick dr. update

Graham and Leah had well checkups today with the pediatrician.

Graham weighs 28lbs and is 35" which puts him at the 47th %ile for weight and 57th %ile for height. Just right! He is doing well all around. It was funny because I had to undress him for his checkup but he didn't want to take his socks off because they were "Cars". So I left them on him, but he kept slipping and falling all over the floor. When the dr. was checking him out she said she could tell by the bruises on his shins that he's an active little boy and that just tells her he's getting good exercise. Lol, well that's one way of looking at it! I said that you can tell he likes to play outside too from his farmer's tan! lol

Leah weighs 15lbs 12oz. Technically, that is only 1oz. more than what she weighed at her last appt. on Sept. 29. The dr. showed me the chart and we both agree that she must have been mis-weighed at her last appt. She was in the 7-8th %ile for over a month, then had jumped up to the 23rd. Then today, was back down to the 5th. That 5-10% ile is all on the same curve, so we think she's been following that curve all this time, becuase that jump in weight just doesn't make sense. She's gotten 3" taller since her last appt, is eating plenty, and is very mobile. She wasn't concerned at all and that was a relief, because neither was I. She is 27" which is in the 27th %ile. The dr. did notice during her checkup that she had an ear infection on her right ear. She has been pulling on her ear a little over the past couple days, but has been otherwise happy, so I didn't think anything of it. I'm glad she caught it today though. So she's on he first dose of antibiotics. She and Graham both got shots and she also got a finger prick for iron check. It came back great and they both did good with their shots. She's been running a low grade fever this evening and not feeling well, but I don't know if it's because of the shots, the ear infection, or both. Hopefully tomorrow she will start feeling better. I have some pictures that I need to post, but they are on the other computer upstairs, so will have to wait. Don't miss the post I just did below with pics from Erica's birthday in Houston.
