Both girls had check ups to day with Dr. Bocchicchio. Kenedy is starting to remember things (like getting shots in the past at the doctor's office) and was a bit reluctant to go. She happily volunteered her sister to go first with the doctor. Kamryn weighed in at 12 pounds and 12 ounces, which is in 55th percentile. She measured 23 1/2 inches, which was in the 50th percentile. Her head circumference was in the 75th percentile. She seemed so big a birth, but she's leveled out and is pretty much just an average sized baby. Dr. B said that Kamryn looked great. She seemed to like him as she talked to him and wiggled around a lot. She got her first big round of immunizations today too. 3 shots in the leg and one orally. She wasn't too keen on that experience though. Good thing the doctor passes that duty off to the nurses to let them be the bad guys!
Kenedy did well with her check up once she got up the gumption to do it. We kept reminder her that all of the instruments were just like in her doctor kit that she has for her babies. She wanted to know why there wasn't a turtle on his blood pressure cuff though. Kenedy weighed in at 36 lbs (75th percentile) and 36 inches (50th percentile). Kenedy has never been below the 75th percentile in anything. I was a little taken aback. She's slowed down a little bit in her growth, but it still right on track and doing well. We're going to try a different medicine for her allergies, as the Zyrtec doesn't seem to be doing the trick anymore. Maybe the nasal spray will. Kenedy didn't have to get any shots today, thank goodness! We even took her out of the room when Kamryn got hers, just to be on the safe side. She will have to get 4 of them on her 4 yr check up though. But we have a year to work ourselves up to that one!
Here are a couple of pictures of Kamryn in the pretty purple dress Jill picked out for her. Sorry there aren't more pictures of Kenedy. She doesn't sit still long enough to get many...
