Doctor Doctor give me the news....

The boys had their check-ups recently; Caiden needed his 12 month and Tyler needed one for Kindergarten. I took them separately because I knew they'd both be getting shots and I didn't want to deal with 2 crying children at the same time. Caiden went to his visit first and everything was great! Healthy as can be! His head is head is still in the 95th percentile, height- 30 in-50%, and weight is just under the 50th (but he's still gaining weight which is what matters!) He's weighing at about 22 pounds (into the "BIG" boy car seat). He also got 3 shots- cried for a second, then stopped once I held him :) He doesn't go again until he's 18 months old. However, we had to go back last week because he ran a fever and ended up having a mild ear infection! Poor fella- but he's all well now!!


Tyler's visit was a loooonnngg one. Good thing Caiden wasn't with us! They did just about everything that day: blood pressure, hearing test, eye test, a test for lazy eye(which was cool because he got to have these plugs put on his forehead and watch a screen change from black and white and different animals would pop up, height, weight check (both in the 50th %), AND he had 4 shots and his finger pricked (that was NOT fun at all). When the nurse went to give him his first shot in the arm he would NOT look away.. he literally starred at the huge needle go into his arm and screamed. Luckily he didn't jump around and stayed still. He was able to cool off and relax once she finished. For the most part he did well.... no one likes needles... We went to the gas station afterwards and got him an ICEE (his favorite) and he was happy! No more shots for a while!
This is Caiden's favorite spot!
