Shots or No Shots

Yesterday we had MacKenna's 4 year and Peyton's 9 month well checks. We told MacKenna that she was going to the doctor that afternoon and that mommy would pick her up early from Miss Tabby's. When I went to pick her up she told me that she was "feeling all better and didn't need to go to the doctor any more." HA! She was very "busy" in the waiting room. So when we finally got back there she was ready to go.

MacKenna now weighs 44 lbs, that is the 95th percentile. She has been around the 70th since she was 2 so this is a major jump. She has gained 8 lbs in this last month since she has been on the new medication. Dr. B is moderately concerned so I have to keep a CLOSE eye on that. She is now 41 1/2 inches tall. She had to have 4 booster shots! We had to hold her down and it was awful for Mommy and Daddy. She kicked with the third one and got scrapped but she'll live. She got some pretty princess band-aides and was good. She got a "prescription" for an ice cream cone but wanted a cookie instead. On the way home she crashed and we let her sleep for about 45 minutes.

Peyton got a reprieve on shots this time. He'll have his four at 1 year. He is 27.5 inches (27 1/2 percentile), weighs 18 lbs 4 ozs (25th Percentile). This is fun because MacKenna weighed
18lbs at ONE YEAR!! He loves to sit up, "inchworm" crawl, roll everywhere. He'll stand up with assistance and has begun to take a liking to baby food so his Grammy got him a new little chair that it like a high chair but can sit on the floor or in a chair. I took several pictures from it's maiden use. I think he likes it but it's hard to tell.
