Summer & Tilly well checks.

Today, I took Summer and Tilly for their well check-ups with Dr. B.  Thanks to a little help from modern technology (Kindle and iPhone) they both did great! 

Summer as you know turned the big 6 yesterday, so this was just her yearly well check.  She is up to date on her immunizations, so no shots for her, yay!  Here are Summer's stats:

Height: 4'2.5" (off the chart, way off the chart, ha! This also means that big brother is still taller, but only by a 1/4 of an inch!)

Weight: 62 lb 9 oz (96%)

BP: 112/68

Pulse: 103

Dr. B showed me the growth chart on the computer with both girls, and Summer's marks were not even close to the chart for height.  She was just off the curve for weight too, measuring perfectly proportionate.  I told Dr. B that it has been this way since day 1 with Summer.  She did not get any short genes for sure, ha!

Please, take a moment to pause in the busyness of your day to check out Tilly's hair.  Yes, she did it herself!  Tilly is starting Kindergarten in the fall, so we had to jump through a few hoops for her today. She had to tee tee in a cup.  Side note, I have made her hold it since lunchtime.  Don't judge.  It worked like a charm because she went right away! She had to have her finger pricked for blood work, a hearing test, a vision test, and she got two shots.  And took it all like a boss!  So proud, Tilly!   Here are Tilly's stats for her 5 year check up: Height: 3'9" (95%) Weight: 45 lbs 9 oz (85%) BP: 88/67 Pulse: 73 Dr. B showed me Tilly's growth chart on the computer as well, and her height is off the grid, too!  I was a little surprised by this.  Tilly seems much smaller than her big brother and sister, but apparently she is going to be a tall one, too! 

We love Dr. B.  He is so great with the children and is such an encouragement to me as a mommy.  While we were at the beach this summer, we actually met a couple who knows him!  Small world! All those things aside, Dr. B kept telling me how great they both look and how perfectly healthy they are.  I won't take that for granted.  I am so very thankful for healthy little ones.  We are almost done with all of our check ups for the summer.  Summer and Tilly both have another check up for their eyes, and we will be done!  Til next summer season anyway!
