3 Yr. Doctor Visit

We braved the pediatrician's office last week for the boys 3 year well check despite the rampant H1N1 stuff.

Evan really hates going to the doctor, but he did a little better this time. He actually stood on the scale and let them measure his height without too much of a fuss. Carter and Davis on the other hand are always thrilled to go and argue over who gets to go first with everything.

So, here are the stats:

Carter
Height: 37.5" (50%)
Weight: 31.6 lbs. (50%)

Davis
Height: 38.5" (75%)
Weight: 32.4 lbs. (50-75%)

Evan
Height: 38" (50-75%)
Weight: 28.0 lbs. (10-25%)


The doctor said maybe next year we can recheck Carter for the peanut allergy, but even that may be too soon for him to grow out of it. Until then, we just have to maintain a strict avoidance in hopes of not making the allergy any worse.

Evan is still doing speech therapy. We and the neurologist are hopeful that he will continue to improve and "outgrow" his delays as there doesn't seem to be any underlying cause for his issues (which I think is a good thing!). Anyway, it is really difficult for me not to worry, but I am trying to have faith.

Outside of that, everyone is happy and healthy which is all any parent can really ask for!



The doctor also said we should probably consider getting them into big boy beds now even though they aren't climbing out of their cribs. He said they see LOTS of head injuries from kids that "never climb out". So, I guess we have to pull the trigger on this one.

Carter constantly wakes up and says "my feets aren't covered" because the baby blankets are too small. Maybe in the twin beds I can just tuck the sheets around them so tight that they can't get out :)
