So Big

We went to the pediatrician for 12 month and 3 year checkups for the girls. It went very smoothly in case how you were wondering how two small children and one mother managed. Elaine was really funny. The girl never stops talking and it made it hard for the nurse to get a word in. When the doctor was checking her eyes he told her to open them wide. She couldn't just open her eyes she had to also open her mouth as wide as it would go. He told her she could close her mouth and of course her eyes then promptly shut as well. When she was finished he told her it was Charlotte's turn. Her reply to this was "Okay, but be gentle. She is only a baby." It was very sweet and I couldn't help but laugh at how she said it. Charlotte had three shots and Elaine none so it was a good visit.

And now for the info everybody is waiting for: the weight. Charlotte was a little less than my guess but tipped the scale at 23 pounds 9 ounces putting her in the 85%. She was also 30 inches tall.

Elaine, after three years, has finally started to fill out. She weighed 32 pounds and was almost 38 inches. This is quite substantial because she only weighed 26 pounds 3 months ago. Yes, Charlotte is wearing Elaine's clothes from last spring.

Both girls are very healthy and the pediatrician always tells me I am doing a great job. Since Rob doesn't even know where the doctors office is I will keep the accolade for myself. He was very impressed when Elaine said thank you unprompted when he gave her a toy for being good.
