Doctor Visits

On Thursday, Molly, Jack, and I went to visit Dr. Havlik.  It was Molly's 2.5 year check up and Jack's 6 month check up.  Here are the results.

Molly - 
Height - 36 in (51%)
Weight - 31.1 lbs (74%)
  • Molly got to wear this cool little Looney Tunes hospital gown.
  • She turned into shy mode and would only answer some of the doctor's questions and when she did speak she whispered.
  • She passed all the developmental questions including that she knows at least 6 body parts, she can share, at least half of her words can be understood, she can walk up stairs unassisted, etc.
  • Molly was very sympathetic to Jack getting his shots.  She cringed in pain when he got poked and then said over and over again, "it's ok, Jack, it's ok."  She was worried and very concerned.
  • Here ears look good, but I didn't realize until after we finished that I didn't ask about whether her last tube was still there or not.  One had fallen out at her last visit, but he didn't say anything about it this time.
Jack - 
Height - 27.75 in (87%)
Weight - 20.25 lbs (88%)
Head - 17.7 in (81%)
  • Jack is really noisy and just yelled most of the visit.
  • He thought the paper on the exam table was the coolest thing ever and wanted to take it with him every time I lifted him off the table.
  • He passed all of the developmental questions except that he doesn't roll over.  He does pass things from one hand to another, reach for a toy in front of him, follow your voice, smile, know his name, etc.
  • Jack has had really bad skin that has flared up over the last couple of weeks and Dr. Havlik said it is just Eczema.  We'll keep putting stuff on it.
It was a good appointment.  It was a little crazy to take them both, but since their birthdays are both in May, we will likely be doing that again for the next couple of years.  It's ok, though.

After we left, Jack zonked from the stress of getting shots and Molly and I went to Chick-fil-A for lunch.  She zonked on the way home and then all three of us had a nice nap once we got home (we played hookie and didn't go back to school for the last hour or so of the day - it was nice).

Here are some videos of my crazy children from last week.
