3 Year & 15 Month Check-ups

So, the girls finally went for their check-ups today. The morning started pretty early for Hayden and me. She woke up around 3:15 and was crying. When I went in there I found that she had wet the bed-she doesn't do this very often at all. So, I got her all cleaned up and brought her into my bed since daddy had just left for UPS. She tossed and turned and cried for about 3 hours because her ear hurt. So, at 6am we came out into the family room since we weren't sleeping. Well, she fell asleep sitting up on the couch, so I let her sleep until 8 since we had our doctor's appointment at 9. She was the crabbiest I have ever seen her, but that was to be expected! I don't normally bring my camera to the doctor's office, but I had it in my purse from last night so I thought I would snap a few!

Now that she's 3 Hayden gets to wear this paper robe thing. We even brought it home so she can play with it for a little while before Layne tears it to pieces. No shots for miss Hayden today. But she did end up getting the flu mist. Miss Layne, on the other hand, got three shots this morning. None of which were the flu shot because they were out of the shot kind and she can't get the mist.

Here's the nurse checking Hayden's blood pressure. Ok, here are the numbers that you all have been waiting for-Hayden is 35 1/2 inches tall (10th percentile) and weighs 26 pounds (5th percentile) Layne is 30 3/4 inches tall (40th percentile) and weighs 18 pounds 3 ounces (less than 5th percentile). Nothing we didn't already know. I DID see our regular doctor today though-Dr. Jattan-who I just love. She was not concerned about the girls weights at all. She just said that there is a tiny gene in there somewhere and it's nothing to worry about. Good enough for me!

The other night when Matt and Jamie were over for dinner they were telling us about a weekly dinner that they and their friends have. One of the ladies cooks for everyone and they all get together and hang out and eat. They solve the world's problems through debate and laughter (mainly laughter). I just loved the idea so, last night we went over to Jonathan and Rebecca's house with David and Lisa for a meet and eat dinner!

The food was wonderful and we think it went really well. Both Lisa and the Cipolla's are into photography. Jonathan works for RCPS and Lisa will begin working for them next week. Jonathan is a teacher and David would like to be a teacher in the near future. Both couples have boys....... I just thought it would be a perfect fit for friends and conversation. So, we are going to try and meet weekly and end eventually bring another couple or two into the mix. As you can see by the pictures, the kiddos had a great time too. It was nice to be able to have adult conversation and just let the kids play in the next room. Tots were jumping all over the couches and the babies were rummaging through Layne's diaper bag-and all were happy!
