Well-Checks: LJ 5 Year and Ellie 1 Year

Since LJ and Ellie's birthdays are so close together, I scheduled their yearly well-checks together too. Ellie had to be 1 for hers, so I scheduled them for Ellie's birthday.

Here are some pictures from the appointment:

Boys walking in with their cool Batman and Superman socks!!

Waiting room ... we had quite a group at the doctor's office! Everything is more fun together!! 

LJ getting his blood pressure taken... he did great in his exam!!

Evan worried he is going to get a shot! We LUCKED out and were able to get both boys Flu mists instead of shots... Thank goodness!!!

Showing Dr. Hargrave how he can balance/ do 'tree pose'! 

LJ giving Dr. Hargrave a high-five (trying not to be 'too slow!')!

Poor Ellie got her flu shot and one vaccine. We are going back in 30 days to get the second flu shot (kids her age need to separate the flu shot into two doses so they can handle it) and another vaccine. She handled the shots very well- cried for just a minute or two and then got over it! She is such a trooper! 

 Ellie's stats:

Weight  23 lbs 9 oz (90-95%)

Height   29 1/4 inches (50-75%)

Head circumference   45.3 cm (50-75%)

And a here are comparisons of the boys at 12 months:

Evan's:

Weight  21 lbs 7 oz (49%)

Height   29 1/2 inches (42%)

Head circumference   47 cm (79%)

 LJ's:

Weight   22 lbs 9.6 oz  (50%)

Height   30 in (50%)

Head Circumference 48 cm (80%)

SO, at ONE YEAR:

-Ellie weighed the most, followed by LJ then Evan

-LJ was the tallest, and Evan and Ellie were about the same height 1/2-3/4 in shorter

-Ellie had a much smaller head than the boys! 

LJ's 5 year old stats (taken 10-23-15):

Weight  45.4 lbs  (75-90%)

Height   44.02  inches (75%)

BMI 16.48 (75-85%)

Blood Pressure 84/57

Heart rate 83

He is the tallest boy in his class this year too! 

Overall, it was a very good visit! Thanks for being with us Aunt Patsy and Lori!
