Luukas had his Kindergarten physical. He weighs 33 1/2 lbs and is 40 1/4 inches tall. He was a brave boy as he received 4 shots and had his finger pricked. He was very cute throughout the appointment, especially when he had to do his vision and hearing exam (which he passed!).
Luukas with our favorite nurse, Beth!
He even made it to soccer after all of that! Of course, the first thing he told Coach Tim was to be careful with him because "I had 5 shots today."
Olivia and Cole had their 4-month physicals.
Olivia now weighs 9 lbs 6 oz and she is 23 1/8 inches tall. Her head circumference is 15 1/8. She is in the 75% for height and 25% for weight on the preemie chart, while being in the 10-25% for height and -3% for weight on the regular charts. Olivia gained a pound in the last month which made Dr. Antone pretty happy! We are able to start cereal (oatmeal for both - no rice) for her though we might wait a few weeks since we were told the longer we wait (until she's closer to 6 months), the less allergies she might get. It's a tough call for us because we so badly want her to gain more weight, yet we already know she has allergies to cow's milk and soy and wonder what/if anything else she might be allergic too. Olivia also saw the neurologist this morning. She will be having a full work-up done to rule out lots of things. We'll know more in the next month or two.
Our precious baby girl!
Cole weighed a whopping 13 lbs 14 oz at today's appointment. He is 24 1/4 inches tall and his head circumference is 15 3/4. He is in the 25% for weight, 15% for height and 5-10% for head size on the regular charts. He's off the charts on the preemie charts at this point! We are also able to continue to try cereal with him as well and we got some good tips for how to deal with his eczema and cradle cap that we've been struggling to get rid of for the last few months.
Our big boy!!!
Luukas is VERY happy that he doesn't have to have shots for 5-6 more years. I must say my poor kids received at least 15 shots total (between all 3 kids) today. Good thing George and his mom were there to help!!
On an important side note, PLEASE PLEASE say some prayers for my mom. She is experiencing some serious health problems. She has some tests later this week so we'll know more then. As many of you know, my mom is my best friend and we have always been very close. The thought of something happening to her or of having to watch her go through things is very sad and scary for me. I love my mom more than anything and she's been there for me thick and thin. I'm just hoping I can live up to helping her as much as she's helped me/us through the years!
