Doc Update

We took both the boys to the pediatrician for their annual check ups today.  Jeff went with me because I knew I would need his help.  They did a height and weight check and Aiden got a blood pressure test, a hearing test and a short eye exam.  Aiden told the nurse the objects on a chart across the hall as she pointed at them.  He insisted the crescent moon was a phone and he was slow to identify some others so they recommend that we go to an eye doctor.  The doctor also did a BMI evaluation on Aiden and found that it was high for his age.  Ty look great and is up to par on his motor and verbal skills.  Here are their stats:

Aiden:
Weight: 42.9 lbs     91%
Height: 41 3/4 in    79%
BMI:  17.30            90%

Ty:
Weight: 33.1 lbs      93%
Height:  37 in          96%
Head Circ: 20 in      92%

They both received immunization shots.  Ty had 2 and Aiden had 4, they were all boosters of shots he had previously and Aiden won't have to get any more until he is 11.  That was such a relief!  Both the boys cried during their shots, I held Ty and Jeff held Aiden as they were given and we comforted them afterward.  We came home and laid down for naps- it was a tiring visit to the doctor.
