6 and 12 Check Ups!

Both Hallie and Carter had their well child check ups.  Carter actually had his appointment the end of April, but I forgot to blog and considering I like having it as a record, I'm inserting it now.  It's nice to be able to look back and see that he is growing adequately, especially after we've had concerns/scares with his growth rate.  All in all, he grew 2 1/2 inches this last year, so we're good.  He officially weighed in at 41 pounds which is just above the 25 percentile and he was 43.5 inches tall, just below the 25 percentile.  He zoomed through the eye appointment, peed in a cup (All by himself!) and didn't whine or even flinch when they pricked his little finger to check his iron level. Luckily, he didn't need any immunizations.  We have decided to move Alex, Carter and Hallie to Nadya's pediatrician, so this will be our last check up with the old one.  We just really like Nadya's pediatrician and originally went with her because she had experience with Orphans. 

Hallie had her 12 year old check up on June 6th.  She was due for a couple of shots before she can enter 7th grade.  I did record her height and weight, but considering she is getting older I will just say that she was around the 50 percentile for both height and weight. Not sure how she would feel if I posted her weight on the blog.   She passed her eye test with flying colors too!  I will say that even though she is getting older, she wasn't too old to hold my hand as she received her shots.  She did very well with them.  It was really more the thought of getting them that freaked her out in the first place.
