dr appt results
Oliver had his dr appt today. We had a different doctor than we usually see because our regular doc was on maternity leave. We LOVED this doctor! She was personable and chatty, but not obnoxiously so. She was impressed by everything that Oliver can do - she said he's ahead in a lot of areas (talking, learning body parts, potty training). She checked him out and said he's a healthy boy. He's 32.5 inches tall (50%) and 24 pounds (25%). I'm kind of wondering...what in the world are these kids eating? Oliver eats constantly but he's at the small end of the curve. He mostly eats healthy stuff, fruits and veggies, but he also eats lots of bread, whole milk, cheese, pasta, potatoes. For snacks he gets teddy grahams, graham crackers, goldfish or something like that. Sometimes he gets sweets like cinnamon rolls, chocolate, cookies, and ice cream. How is he smaller than most other kids?!?!?! I don't understand!
He got two shots today, the DTaP and something else...he seems to be ok so far. We go back in a few weeks for the MMR and the stupid chicken pox. I still don't think he needs the chicken pox one.

Sean also weighs 24 lbs as of Thursday morning (when we went to the hospital for a high fever)... Oliver is thin! (Sean is porky on the thighs, lol) (Though you'd never guess it from looking at him with pants on!)
Braeden's at 24 pounds too, about 3 weeks younger than Oliver, and 34 inches tall (75th percentile). His doc said that's perfect for her - tall and lean. To me Brae looks thin, but I'd rather have him on the thin side than obese at this point. He eats a LOT, but mostly healthy stuff with the odd "treat" thrown in for variety, like Oliver.
The shots are hard on all of us, and the questions about even vaccinating at all continue to surface. We've had all of Braeden's done, so he's current, but I still worry about autism (and who knows what else they can contribute to). Hang in there and good luck - love the pictures.
