My Well Babies

Daniel and Caroline had their well baby check-ups with Dr. Dudgeon this morning. All went well, thanks to crowd control help from Gran! As you will see in the pictures beneath this entry, my kids LOVE Dr. Dudgeon and going to the doctor is never a source of hard feelings for them (THANK YOU Danette!!). Daniel weighs 41 pounds and 6 ounces and is 41.5 inches tall. He passed his hearing and vision exams and was wonderfully brave for his Hep. A shot. Dr. Dudgeon bragged on him for knowing pool and bicycle safety rules and complemented him on his good eating and teeth brushing habits. For those of you who do not know, Daniel loves fish, veggies, and fruits. He will only drink water, and occasionally milk. He refuses to drink anything with "bubbles" and will not touch chips, pizza, or french fries. This is usually great except for when he is at a birthday party or someone's house who is offering him one of these typically child-pleasing foods and he won't partake!! He has just ventured into the world of chicken nuggets...who knows what will be next...mac-n-cheese?!
Caroline also got a good report. She is 28.5 inches long (75%), weighs 19 pounds and 9.5 ounces (60%), and her head circumference is 17.5 inches (60%). She is doing fantastic developmentally. She will already say bye bye! She too was wonderfully brave for her shots, and the big morning sent her straight to sleep on the car ride home. I am so thankful for my "well babies."

We Love Dr. Dudgeon too. AR always gets the biggest smile when she sees him.
I am laughing because AR weighed just a few more ounces and it bumped her up to the 75th percentile. that is crazy!
Your kiddos are precious! Maybe we can see you guys before long!
