Checkups For Both

Both the kids had their yearly checkups this last month (March).   I'm happy to say they are both healthy as can be and in good weight and height percentiles.

Alyssa wasn't too happy at her appointment she had to get four shots.  She kept asking me if her doctor was going to give her shots.  I said no.  I wasn't lying he doesn't give the shots the nurse does.  I felt horrible for her and she was not a happy girl.  For the first time she got a little reaction from one of the shots.  It wasn't major and there was no worry after talking with the nurse.
At Knox's appointment Alyssa couldn't wait for him to get shots.  She has been somewhat obsessed with this lately.  She was a little upset when he didn't get any and after talking with the doctor he ended up getting a flu shot.  It didn't really bother him at all.  The student that the doctor has following him around let Alyssa listen to everyone heartbeat with the stethoscope.  She was so excited. 

A friend of ours gave her a medical kit because she is so into this right now.  It's pretty cute listening to her play doctor.  She has set up her lap top on the table and of course all the patients get shots that come in to see her. 

Alyssa is at 40lbs. and 40 inches I'm not sure the percentile at this moment because I can't find the paperwork.  Knox is at 29.7lbs and 36 inches.  I can't believe at how tall this little guy is getting.  I made the comment to Alyssa who has been begging me to go to Disneyland that when Knox was tall enough to go on the rides we could go.  We will see how this summer measures out at the fair etc.  Maybe we will have to get a family trip planned next year at some point.  Grandparents are you listening up!!!!!!!!
