This morning I took both kids to their appointments. This was our second time doing them together and let me say, having our regular nurse and doctor, things went much smoother and faster. Xander's appt was at 845, Sterling at 915, but they had both kids done by 915. However, they did get us in right after we checked in (20 minutes early). They both were really well behaved while the other was getting checked out. Sterling...she does not like strangers. She screamed bloody murder, but otherwise, she was fine. They both received shots, Xander didn't fuss until the 2nd shot, but within a few seconds was already done fussing. He's so brave and received a sticker. Sterling...ha! She's a mess! This girl is so emotional, drama, and finicky it's become ridiculous. She's so cute though, i just have to laugh with her when's she's screaming her head off...lol. She has the largest crocodile tears I've ever seen!
Xander's stats (18 months):
Height: 31.5 in--26%
Weight: 24.36 lb--29%
Head: 18.9 in--61%
Xander is well proportioned and maintaining his weight and height equally. That's a good thing. He's gaining height, yah buddy!
Sterling's stats (6.5 months):
Height: 26.9 in--78%
Weight: 20.5 lb--99%
Head: 17.55 in--91%
Sterling, well, she's just a big baby! In comparison, Xander was 26 inches at 12 months. She really does not have fat rolls like you'd think. I think because she's so tall is why she weighs so much. Once she starts moving, she'll start equaling out as well.
Our concerned topics at this check up:
Xander...not drinking enough milk. He's only drinking 6-8 ounces a day...on a good day! As long as he's getting 3 servings of dairy a day, the doc says he's fine. Which he does, so I guess I can stop worrying.
Xander...pooping so much. Totally normal since they're not loose stools. I guess our pooping competition boy will continue until he's ready to regulate. Poor mama!
Sterling...not putting much support on her legs. We're actually getting better in the area in the past 2 days, but I still brought it up. We will continue to work with her and hopefully get her crawling in the next few weeks. If no improvement, they will start physical therapy at 9 months.
Sterling...foods. Because she's so big, the doc says to start giving her table foods, minus meats. I don't think i'm going to do this. It seems way to soon. I don't mind giving her toast once in a while, but I'm going to stick to her fruits/veggies and rice for at least another month, maybe even 2. I haven't even moved her to stage 3 yet. I do think she's ready for most of our table foods because she's always trying to grab what we're eating. I'm just not ready to move her.
Have a great day!
