Well Checks

Oliver and Paisley had their well-check appointments yesterday.  

Oliver was up first and did well on the scale and measuring his height.  The nurse took his blood pressure (using the smallest cutest little cuff that you ever did see) and he was fine with that too.  However, when they were trying to check his vision, he wasn't having any part of it.  The nurse stood across the room holding some white cards with printed black pictures on them.  She flipped through them asking what they were.  His response to her was, "I don't know."  He did respond to one saying it was a truck, but I'm not sure if it was a truck or not as I was trying to get him to cooperate.  Oh well, the nurse said it wasn't a big deal and we could try again at his 4 year well-check.

Ollie also did well with Dr. Gallagher.  He was talkative and told him all about his birthday party.  Unlike his 2.5 year appointment, Oliver did open his mouth this time.  (Last time he refused to and the doctor even pinched his nose shut trying to get him to open his mouth, but our stubborn little boy wasn't having it.)  He was cooperative as the doctor checked his eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and tummy. 

He's continuing on the charts at the low end, but he's been there his whole life and been making gains steadily so the doctor said he's just fine.  So as a three year old he is 35.5 inches tall (9%) and 28 pounds (13%). 

 Paisley was also more cooperative at this appointment than she was for her last.  At her four month appointment she screamed through the majority of it.  This appointment was much more calm as she only cried during her shots which is to be expected 100%.

Pais is continuing with the same trend as Oliver at the bottom of the chart, but making gains so nothing to be concerned with.  So at 6 months old she is 25 inches long (12%) and weighs 13 pounds 12 ounces (9%).
