Yesterday, I took the kids for their checkups. Talk about a three ring circus! The exam rooms at the clinic in Larned are barely big enough for a patient and doctor, let alone two patients, a car seat, a mommy, and a doctor! Both the kids were so well behaved and waited patiently while the other was getting checked out.
Marleigh weighed in at 29lbs 10oz. She is 36.5 inches tall. Both of those are right around the 50th percentile. Pretty impressive considering she was only 2 lbs at birth. On the physical side/coordination, she is about where most 3 year olds are. On the mental/verbal, she is above a 4 year old level. He was impressed with how well she articulates words and her use of complex sentences. (Man... its feels like I brag on my kids, ALOT!) He asked her to jump up on the table for her exam, and with a serious face, Marleigh said to him, "No, thank you. I'm good right here." We both laughed at her. The only negative (if you can call it that) is that she still is not potty trained. We are getting there.... slowly!
Kade was all smiles. He weighed 23lbs 15oz (I think... I forgot his paper with the info) and 29 inches tall. Both of these are off the charts. Dr. Williams mentioned that Kade's eye had coordination seemed above average (seriously... do you get tired of me bragging about my munchkins?!?) , and that his appetite was obviously above average! Kade took his shots like a champ. Just a little fussing and that was it.
The highlight of the visit was in between the nurse leaving and the doctor coming in. Both kids were stripped down to their diapers, and Marleigh decided she wanted to entertain her brother. She did an amazing rendition of "Jesus Loves Me" complete with dance moves and everything. Kade and I both got a good chuckle out of it!
I am not sure how I got so blessed to have two amazing, healthy, happy, beautiful kids, but I am incredibly thankful for them!
