check up time!

check up time for all 4 of my babes. i don't know why, but i love taking them all to the dr! i love splitting them up so i can focus on 2 at a time. i love the bond they show as they are alone with just one sibling. i love finding out how big they are and where they rank with the percentiles. and i love taking them for treats afterwards. :)

i kept the split the same as last year, with christian and frankie together and the a's together.
my big boy is 5'6 and 1/4 and weighs 114 lbs. so basically we're exactly the same size. ;)
heighth wise at least.
that's 100th percentile  for height!

can't believe he's such a little man!

the nurse had fun teasing him. :)

and franks likes to help with pictures.

frankie weighs 21.7 lbs and is 31 1/2 inches long. that's 90th percentile for length, 55th for weight, and 60th for head circumference (18 1/4 inches).

nakie frankie was walking around like she owned the place, swinging her cup on her arm. she wouldn't hold still though, so this drunkie frankie shot is the best i could get. :)

this was right before dr. miller tickled christian. i seriously love our ped!

while christian got his physical, frankie read up on bedwetting.

and then after this, i got kicked out for a few minutes so he could check his "man" stuff.

all looked good for chris, then it was frankie's turn. i love how she's looking a christian like, "bubba, what the crap?! break me out of here!"

she kept trying to grab the stethoscope so we each had to hold a hand. she has a small functional heart murmur, which all my children have had. weird thing is, it's never shown up till now. she looks great though!

then it was shot time. :(

3 shots.

and then i kinda wanted to punch the nurse cause she was slow and not very good at giving wiggly babies shots.

poor frankie. she recovered quickly though.

addie and lexi's appt. was even more fun!
addie was excited, then nervous, then happy, then scared, it was a whole range of emotions!
we told her all about her ice cream treat for after she behaved at the dr.'s.

so different from last year, this brave girl stepped right on the scale.

she was stone faced and concentrating like it was her job!

she weighed in at 29 lbs. and is 37 1/2 inches.

then it was lu's turn.

she's 5'2 and 104 lbs. i can't believe christian's a full 4 inches taller than her! they've always gone back and forth on who's bigger, but now i think this is the way it will stay, with him being taller. :)

lexi wanted addie to sit on the table with her. she loved it and watched intently as lexi got her blood pressure taken.

then it was her turn to have her blood pressure taken for the very first time!

there's that concentration again!

lexi and i were cracking up the whole time, she was so funny!

finally a goofy smile!

and a high five for a job well done!

then we waited for dr. miller.

they love each other!

my little birthday twins.

they talked and joked and loved on each other.

so sweet.

and addie showed some bum crack. :)

then lexi decided to perform addie's check-up.

then addie wanted her turn.

love these girls!

addie did sooo good! she answered all of his questions and the only task he gave her that she couldn't do was to write an x. she kind of wrote it, but wouldn't pick the pen up, so it looked like a box with an x in it.

"i'm fwee yeaws old."

i love her expressive faces. dr. miller even commented on them. :)

i guess she wasn't sure what to do with her hands?

and again...

and she looks great!

then it was lexi's turn and...

my battery died. :( but she looks good too. 

and that's enough dr.'s visits for these 4. until next june at least!
