Checkups

Yesterday both kids had a milestone doctors appointment. (Madison 's three year and Noah's nine month) This is the first time that both kids have hit a checkup point at the same time, so I didn't know what to expect. The appointment started with two nurses. One was updating all the database information, and the other was taking Madison's vitals. It made the routine part of the appointment go very fast. I was so proud of Madison when she went with the nurse to get her weight and height all by herself. Both kids are very healthy. The doctor said no more middle of the night feedings for Noah, however we do need to make sure he goes to bed with a full tummy. I had been trying that for the three nights leading up to the appointment, and he had slept through the night. I hope this keeps up. Only Madison needed a shot, and I was so proud of her because she didn't even cry. So, here is where the kids stack up:

Madison is 31 lbs (54%) and 37.5" (55%). She is perfectly proportional and very average size. She has gained 4.5 lbs and grew 3" in the last year. It was funny to read the "Normal Development" sheets they gave us, because they describe her to a T. I guess she is a normal three year old :)

Noah is 22 lbs 3 oz (76%) and 28.25" (52%). His percentages have actually gone down since his 6 month appointment, which means he might actually be slowing down in the growth department. He has gained 2.5 lbs and grew 1.5" in the last 3 months.

It is so funny to think the kids are within ten pounds and ten inches of each other. Hopefully, we won't be taking another trip to the doctor until Noah is one!
