checkups for all

We spent three out of the past four days at the same doctors' offices this week.  So much fun!  They love us there! 

We had Colin's 4 year visit.  Here he is taking Buddy for a spin on the doctor's stool.

Colin continues to grow up and not out.  He is now 3'3" (about 25th %) and 30 lbs (about 5%).  But since he's staying consistent on the charts and does actually eat, doctor isn't worried.  Dr. Cates was very impressed with Colin's speech and vocabulary!  When Colin was asked whether he wanted the flu shot or the nose spray (since he was throwing a fit about the nose spray), he responded, "ZERO!!" and had all of us cracking up.  Dr. said that was the first time he'd gotten that response :)

Two days later we had Charlotte's 9 month visit.  The lady is now 27.25 inches long and weighs 18 lbs.   (both about 50%).  So, at this rate, she'll lap Colin on weight soon.  Charlotte is also doing well.  She has one top tooth that has broken through and it looks like another one will be coming through soon.  No sign of the bottom ones though, poor girl.  We also discovered she has an ear infection... her first one :(   But (here's where that third doctor visit comes in) given that I also have an ear (and sinus, and eye) infection, I think we just got a bad bug that doesn't want to let go.  

No pics at the dr. office but here's C2 showing off her newfound ability to pull up in her crib.  And right after this, we took that mobile down.  She's turned into a big girl overnight!
