18 Months and 3 Years

The kids had their well check ups today.  I was certain Braylen would overtake Evie in the weight category, but alas, Evie hangs on for another month to being the bigger sibling.  I was so shocked that B weighed less, I had the nurse weigh him again.

Braylen at 18 months

Height:  33 inches (70%)
Weight:  24 lbs, 4 oz (52%)
Head:  47.5 cm  (53%)

Evie at 3 years

Height:  just shy of 34 inches (<1 p="">Weight:  24 lbs, 13 oz (4%!!!)
BMI: 15.3 (49%)

Apparently Evie is shrinking.   Her height has diminished over the last three appointments.  Dr. Burke looked confused and concerned.  Let me clear this up for you, Dr. Burke.  The method your nurses use is from the stone age- having a squirming toddler lay on a table, putting marks at the head and feet, then measuring in between is not the best method.  I take height measurements with a grain of salt for both kids.  Now Evie stands to be measured.  Another joke with a squirming three year old.  Let me also remind you, Dr. Burke, that none of the females on either side of our family are above 5'2" tall.  We've moved from weight concerns to height concerns.  I'm so over it.  She's TINY.

The questions they ask me about the kids are slightly odd, like can Evie wiggle her thumb, yet both kids are right where they need to be developmentally.   I don't have the energy to give details on everything they are doing right now.  No shots for Evie and a few for Bray-baby.

This visit was more chaotic than the normal visit.  Now I am dealing with Evie needing to go to the potty.  The little potties at the new building are super cute and perfect for little ones!  Evie decided she wanted to use the potty three times while we were there.  One time I had to take a half naked Braylen with me and keep him off the dirty bathroom floor while Evie putzed around.  Another time, I left a crying Braylen with Dr. Burke while I took Evie.  Ahhh, so much fun!  

Evie and Braylen are playing together a lot more now.  I love seeing them interact

Heels and bags.  LOL

I posted Evie's birthday post way late, so click here for it.  Keeping up with the blog is getting harder and harder!
