The [boring] life of a SAHM

The kids both had check up appointments today.

Braxton:
Braxton did okay. I was terrified I was going to have one of those screaming kids that wouldn't let the dr near him. Luckily the only time he threw a fit was when he was called back. Josh had Addie & I was trying to walk Braxton back. He kept screaming & crying 'NOOOOO! LET DADDY DO IT. DADDY! TAKE ME! NOOOO" *sigh* so Josh had to come back out & we traded, then he was fine. They weighed & measured him. 46 lbs, 43 inches. The nurse tried to get him to read an eye chart but he wasn't interested..she said most 3 year olds won't do it anyways. She checked his hearing & eyes. He was being stubborn though..or scared. The nurse put a thing up to his hear and told him to tell her or daddy when/if he heard anything. She kept asking do you hear it? and he would say no but I know he could hear it. He just freaks out and gets quiet when he's scared.

Adelyn:
All the normal stuff, she was weighed & measured also. 18 lbs 8 oz & 26 inches. Shes in the 50% for height, 80% for weight....so basically shes short & fat? ;) Anyways, checked her ears, her eyes, etc etc. Here are her stats:


birth: 7 lbs 13 oz, 19 3/4 in
1 month: 9 lbs 5 oz, 22.5 in
2 months: 11 lbs 15 oz, 23 1/4 in
4 months: 15 lbs 4 oz, 24 3/4 in
6 months: 18 lbs 8 oz, 26 in

I of course got the "solids" talk and my babyled weaning views were basically shot down but oh well! She had never even heard of it so its not like I expected her to understand.

Addie got shots today too. Poor thing. She does really good though & doesn't cry too much. After they were done though & I was getting her dressed I laid her down on the table to put her pants on-got them on-look at her and guess what? She's almost completely asleep! She's been sleeping the past 2 hours.

So it went pretty well...Braxton goes back next year for booster shots (Oh how fun THAT will be!) and Addie goes back in 3 months but doesnt have to have shots! Yay! :)
