Kelson's highlight of the visit was peeing in a cup! He was also happy he didn't need any shots-he was completely caught up. As for his measurements: weight: 44, 76% height: 45 in, 88% BMI: 15.5, 51% For area of development, he scored 55 and 60. The cut off line is around 30.
Jayson had three vaccinations all in one poke to the leg! Thank goodness! Although, he did great! He flinched and that was it, all done. He was pretty happy the nurse got a batman sticker for him. His leg was pretty sore by the end of the night, warm and stiff. Good thing for Motrin! To take his mind off of it and make him happy, I made up batman songs! To be honest, they were quite funny! For the past few months Eric and I were worried about his growth. He seems small us and he still fits in 2T pants! After talking with the doctor we know that he is right on track! He will probably take after more of my side of the family than Eric. Here are his measurements: weight: 35 labs, 57% height: 39 in, 48% BMI: 16, 58% For development he score only 45 and 50 once! The rest of 60.
Chloe is adorable! Her measurements are: weight: 10.9, 11% height: 24 in, 74% head circumference 15.5 in, 48% She has these white zit like bumps on her body. Supposedly they are apart of the wart family... Nothing to worry about, they will go away on their own. In fact, many have over the past bit. She also has a condition where her downstairs starts to zip closed. Right now its about 1/4 the way up. If it doesn't fix its self soon, back to the Dr we go to correct it. Supposedly its fairly common. She never had a period once I brought her home though, EVERYONE warned me about it. But it never happened. She fell asleep for the last portion of the visit. Poor girl was woke up for three shots and the drinkable vaccine. Oooo she did NOT like being poked. I don't blame her, who doesn't? I grabbed her and hugged her tight until she calmed down. I thought for sure she would scream once I put her in car seat for the ride home, but instead she slept. We gave her some infant Tylenol when we got home and she was happy! We snuggled the crap out of her that night! She fussed when she would stand on her legs (her favorite thing to do) and she did feel a bit warm. All normal though.
Doc gave us some suggestions and ideas about Jayson's eating habits! Often times Jay wont eat or eat as much as he should because he is so focused on getting on to the next thing. In which case, we pull out the jalapeno's and threaten if he doesn't eat he will eat a jalapeno. Usually this works after knowing the hard way that we mean business. We really pushed this because we were really worried about his growing or lack there of. (Little did we know he is average for his age.) We now know that this only works momentarily and not in the big scheme of things. We were advised to completely take his food away. The minute he gets down from the table he is done and his food is taken away. He doesn't get to eat til the next meal. Dr. Cornish said he has done this with his three year old and she has only done it twice, he says three year olds love to push the limits and test boundaries. I totally agree with him... Jay does things like this everyday. Three really is a great age, don't ya know?
