Well child check ups

Mason, Cooper, and Shiloh all had well child check ups, all in one day, one appointment after the other. We (by we I mean ME and the three kids) were at the office for about 2 hours total. Some waiting time, some being seen time. Although it was a bit crazy with three kids, by myself, I'd rather have them all seen at once, deal with the craziness one time, deal with waiting in the waiting room one time, then be done for another year. 

Mason's 6 year stats were: 54 lbs 49 inches

Cooper's 4 years stats were: 47 lbs 42 inches. 

 Funny thing about Cooper, his BMI is in the 98-99% for kids his age. He's pretty much been in the 90%'s his whole life. Our Doctor said that if he hadn't been Cooper's Doctor his whole life, he would probably be a bit worried. He made sure to advise me to make sure Cooper gets out and runs around. Maybe I should get him a giant hamster wheel. What do you think?

Sad thing about Cooper. Cooper also got the rest of the shots he will need for kindergarten next year. That was a treat! They first tried to give him his shots in his legs, but as the MA was going in for his leg, he got his arm free from my grasp and pull the needle away. So then it was on to his arms. Yup, my strong willed little boy got his hand free once again, and pulled the needle out of the opposite arm. After lots of screaming and protesting, all four shots were given.

Shiloh's 9 month stats (really 10 month, as we didn't go until she was 3 days shy of 10 months) were: 18 lbs 4 oz (40%) and 29 inches (82%). I think she is our skinniest baby so far.
