One of the advantages of having back to back birthdays is we can have back to back appointments with our pediatrician for their annual checkups. We usually have to wait (and wait and wait) for our doctor because he's a very sought after doctor plus he takes his time. Anyway, that's one hour saved out of our lives since we only have the one wait instead of two.
Quick stats: Carley weighed 27 lbs 12 oz and was 33 3/4 inches tall. She was at the 50th percentile for height, about 65th for weight and 95th for head circumference (I'm sure it's the size of her brain). She's perfectly normal and perfectly healthy.
For Sam, he weighed 32 lbs and was 42 inches tall. He's at about the 40th percentile for height and he's below the one percentile line for weight. The doctor wasn't concerned though because he's been consistently following the curve of growth just fine and the charts are for Americans. His vision tested at 20/40 in both eyes so they recommended a followup vision check with an eye doctor. We might end up with two children with glasses.
Then it was time for shots. Everyone got at least one, even Lindsey (flu shot). Poor Sam had four. You would have thought they were being killed from all the screaming. After the kids' torture, then it was time for the parents' torture. We went to Chuck E Cheese as a birthday present, another reason why it's good to have 2 of our kids birthdays so close. That way Blain and I only have to suffer through this twice a year rather than 3 times.
