Abby had her 3 year checkup yesterday, and Austin had his 1 month today. They both did really well* and checked out healthy! While I'm not one for comparing my kids to others, I am very numbers oriented, so here's the stats:
Abby
height: 39.5in (94th percentile)
weight: 34lbs (80th percentile)
shots: 3 plus bloodwork, She didn't even flinch at the finger prick, she said "ow!' with the first shot, yelled "OOWW!" at the second and started to cry at the third. Pretty good for a 3 year old :) As promised, she was rewarded with a scone and apple juice from Starbucks.
On a side note, I asked if they could predict her adult height since she's so much taller than all her friends. Their best guess is somewhere around 5'10"
Austin
height: 22in (60th percentile)
weight: 10lbs 15oz (70-75th percentile)
shots: 1 and he screamed his little head off. Poor guy! He's been sleeping ever since, hopefully this doesn't mean a long night is ahead.
When they told me his percentiles, I responded with "Short and fat!" The nurse looked at me like I was nuts, but of course I was used to Abby. She wasn't even on the charts until she was close to 1 years old.
Healthy and happy, just the way I like them!
*Those Berenstain Bears are really quite helpful. Sure enough, the doctor did everything they do in the book, and even in the same order. Abby was prepped for everything and did great.
