A word of warning

4 month well visit and 2 flu shots

I prefer to schedule the kids' doctors appointments into one big visit in order to save trips to the doctor's office (and a co-pay) but I always leave regretting that decision.
Kingsley: 27 inches (off the charts) 16 lbs 8 oz (95 percentile)
He lost a bit of weight since his last weigh in a couple days ago but I attribute that to a huge messy diaper right before we left the house...and he was stark naked on the scale this time.
He is still pretty congested but it hasn't effected his jolly mood, eating or sleeping so I'm not too worried about it.

Lucy got the second round of her flu shot but now understands that shots hurt and screamed the entire visit. Bendolito. To top it all off she didn't particularly enjoy the elevator ride either. She said, "Mom, I'm scared of the elergater." And screamed, "I don't like it!" Our wonderful perdiatrician put it nicely and said, "She's very vocal, isn't she!"

Sofie was only slightly less dramatic and she only got the nose mist. I can only imagine what it would have been like if she had gotten a dot (shot).

Needless to say, we went directly to Sonic afterward for fries and ice cream.

Chubby Babies

Lucy 19 mo.

King 3 mo.

We took King to the doctor last week because he has had a bad cough and wheezing for almost a month. We learned that he is fine and that the cold will just have to run it's course, but he was weighed to make sure he is still eating well while suffering the chronic congestion. Indeed he is! He is not even 4 months and he weighes 17 lbs! Lucy missed her 4 and 6 month well visits but at 7 months she was an even 20 lbs. We will see if King can beat her record. :)

PS Its still very warm here in Dallas and some days we take our sweet time getting dressed :)
