Check ups!

The boys all had their annual check ups and I must say it isn't bad going to the doctor when you only go once in a blue moon!  On the way up Daniel and I were talking one of the first times we had to rush Boston to the ER and his monitor had gone 15 times in a matter of 20 minutes!  Don't miss those days!  Our doctor even said "Can you believe how far they have come!"  I am glad to say we are all over that now!!!

At 36 months Phoenix:
29.4 pounds, and that is
at the 26th percentile for weight.
38.5 inches, and that is
at the 76th percentile for height.

So..........we have a tall slender son here!  I asked the doctor about him not eating and being so.darn.little!  He said not to worry he looks healthy and he is not concerned!  Looks like I may be asking Phoenix to get things down from the top shelf!  He did have a hearing and eye exam as well.  He did well on the eye exam but the hearing they were a tid concerned about his high pitch hearing so that is something we need to watch he said.  He also said to work with him on drawing shapes and stick figures with body parts-neither of which we do now so sorry P for not giving you a chance to pass that test!  Everything else he was great with!  Letters, Numbers, his name, where he lives, he did awesome!

At 24 months Boston:
25.4 pounds, and that is
at the 17th percentile for weight.
33 inches, and that is
at the 13th percentile for height.
your child has a head circumference of 48 inches, and that is
at greater than the 97th percentile for head circumference.

So...although not as much growth as we would like to see he is still growing and following his trend line and hey.....he is on the charts!  This is the first time he has ever been on the charts for all three categories!  WHOOP WHOOP!  He is amazed by Boston's progress!!  At his 18 month visit we were  a little concerned about speech but not anymore!  He said there is absolutely nothing to worry about with either of the twins as of right now they are right on track (I think largely in part from Big brother showing them the ropes!)

At 24 months Parker:
27.8 pounds, and that is
at the 46th percentile for weight.
34 inches, and that is
at the 35th percentile for height.
your child has a head circumference of 49 inches, and that is
at greater than the 97th percentile for head circumference.

Parker did awesome as well!!!  He is in the 'normal' range for term babies!  He too was amazed by all the things Parker is doing!  He said for twins they are rocking it not to mention for preemie twins!  Parker does have a series of moles on his leg we need to watch but other than that passed with flying colors!!

Ponder This:

I read this some where and it made me think!
Two turtles were discussing meeting God. One said "I can't wait to meet God. I'm going to ask him why He didn’t do something about all the suffering on earth." The other turtle hesitated and responded, "I'm afraid he's going to ask me the same thing."

What are you going to do to make a difference in the world?
"An invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstances. The thread may stretch or tangle, but never break." -Chinese Proverb
