3 Year and 6 Year Update

Everly actually turns 6 one week from today but Aspen turned 3 about a week and a half ago. Last week we had their joint birthday party and I also took them in to the doctor's for their yearly checkup. I was a little worried because I wasn't sure how well Aspen would do. She hasn't been to the doctor's in a year and the last time she was still so traumatized from all of her ear infections. It actually went way better than expected. Both girls behaved really well and did awesome with their flu shots. Aspen is still tiny at the 14th percentile for weight and 17th for height. She is 27 pounds and 35 1/2 inches tall. Everly is borderline perfect at 47 pounds and 45 1/2 inches tall she is the 63% for weight and 58th for height. If she gets to 46 inches by January she should be able to go on Indiana Jones when we go to Disneyland! Neither of the girls even cried when they got their shots. They were easy on me so I treated them with smoothies after. Also, for a fun flashback, HERE is their update from a year ago.

thumbs up!

Aspen tried to sit on the scale. It was adorable.

Everly has slight allergies and you can see the white line on her nose from scrunching it so much.

2 Year and 5 Year Update

This week both Everly and Aspen had their annual checkup. With both of their birthdays so close we are able to tackle this in one doctor's appointment. I really like our pediatrician but I still don't want to spend any more time there then we have to. It was a relatively painless appointment. Aspen is still a little uncomfortable being there from all of her ear infection appointments before she got tubes put in, but she was definitely much better. She didn't even cry when she got her flu shot. Ev didn't want to get the flu shot but I think we talked about it too much before it actually happened. Last year she didn't cry at all so we thought that would happen again but got a little cocky, I guess. As far as growth goes, they are basically both perfect. Everly is 40 lbs. and 107 centimeters which puts her in the 53rd and 46th percentiles for weight and height. This is also exciting because she can ride so many more rides at Disneyland next week. Basically, the only rides she can't go on are Indiana Jones and California Screaming which I don't think we could convince her to do anyways. I am really excited to see her face on so many more rides! Aspen is 23 lbs. 8 oz. and 33 1/2 inches long. She is 11th and 38th percentile for height and weight but that is based on US numbers and so she is a lot closer to the middle on the World Health charts because US babies are big. She is still pretty tiny though! Next up is dentist appointments for both girls!

 

Yes, I still match them.  Dresses were only $3 though! (H&M)

Preschool Pictures and a 4 Year Checkup

So we recently got Everly's Preschool pictures back and they are basically perfect. That girl is such a cheese ball. I love her little smile. I took her to her 4 year checkup yesterday and she was such a champ. Her next checkup will be after she starts kindergarten so she had to get 4 shots. I told her she would get a cool Band-Aid and she wasn't even worried. Not only did she not cry but she kind of giggled. The girl was fast with them but I know Ev is a tough little girl, too. Her sister on the other hand, screamed bloody murder at the doctor's office this morning while he cleaned her ears out so he could look in them. It was joyous. Ev is at the 59th percentile for weight and 35th for height...so perfect. She answered all of the doctor's questions and I feel like it was such an improvement from last year. Preschool is doing her well!

Everly: 3 Year Checkup

 

Last week Everly had her 3-year checkup at the doctor's office. She was very excited because for basically almost the last year, all of the doctor's appointments have been for me or Aspen and this time it was all about her. She loved standing on the scale and getting her height checked. She loved answering all of the doctor's questions too. It was really cute. She is doing great and is in the 60th percentile for weight and 39th for height. I was a little worried about going by myself with 2 kids but she didn't even need any shots so it was fine. She did get the flu vaccine but she only had to sniff it. She did it fine, but afterwards told me she didn't like it. I am really grateful that Everly is so healthy that she actually likes going to the doctor because she doesn't normally get to! Hopefully we have another great year (with maybe less mosquitos)!
