We went to the doctor today for well check ups, and it was as I suspected. Raegan's a little shrimp. She's in the 5% for weight and height(17lbs), down from the 25%. For those of you who aren't up on children's statistics, 50% would be the average weight and height for the age group . Peyton is 50% weight and 50-75% height. No surprise there. Peyton can eat! But she's perfectly average, so it's okay.
Poor Raegan now "performs" at the doctor exactly as Peyton did.....SCREAM SCREAM SCREAM! Peyton and Raegan both have been so traumatized by doctors' prodding in their infected ears, that they despise anything the doctor does. Peyton, to everyone's relief, can now be bribed with stickers and suckers, and willingly cooperates without any ear piercing screams. Raegan is just not there yet. She could care less about a stupid sugar free sucker. But she will be there soon. The nurse told me that she doesn't mind the screams and cries, she hears it all day long, and it doesn't bother her at all. I'm grateful for a nice pediatrician's office and two healthy children.
