1 Year Check-Up

The Triplets had their 12 month/1 year check up yesterday. Boy was it crazy! Babies crawling all over the exam room pinching fingers in cabinets and trying to un-plug equipment. That appointment was definitely a work out! The babies are all looking healthy other than all 3 having ear infections. Poor babies. Positive note is we get to start cows milk...no more formula, yay! Plus we can turn the kids around in their car seats to forward facing. Even though they aren't quite 20 pounds yet the Dr. gave us the OK. Just these two milestones are huge! Now instead of spending $26 a week on formula we can spend $2.00 a week on milk. Car rides will be a lot easier with them facing forward as well. The shots went alright. They didn't cry too long. Evan did decide to hold his breath again though, when he decided to start breathing again he cried pretty hard and then as we were leaving puked all over. Poor kid, he takes everything too personally---he's so sensitive. Sad note: we had to switch doctors because we moved and the commute was just getting too difficult. It was really sad to have to switch the kids from an amazing doctor. Hopefully we can find another great doctor that can fill his shoes. Enough jabbering...here's the kiddo's new measurements!

Mason:

Weight: 18 lbs 8 oz  (4%)
Length:  29.0 " (24%)
Head circumference: 18.5 " (68%)

Evan:

Weight:  19 lbs 2 oz  (6%)
Length:  29.0 "  (24%)
Head Circumference:  18.9 "  (89%)

Madison:

Weight:  18 lbs 8 oz  (14%)
Length:  28.5 "  (29%)
Head Circumference:  18.5 "  (93%)


My kids always have big heads! I'm happy they're all in a percentile for every category now!
I was mistaken and on my F.B. I said Maddy and Mason were 18 lbs 13 oz. OOPS! dang mommy brain.

  1. I can only imagine how "fun" an appointment with them all would be. :) And hey, big heads=big brains, right? :) They're SO cute and you're an awesome mommy! Good luck finding a new doctor, I always hate that about moving.
