My 3 year old had a great well check. Happy and healthy and hitting on her milestones on time or early. And she maintained her status quo of 75th% for height and 25th% for weight. My baby's last well visit was at 4 months. He's a tiny nugget so he was only 3rd% for height and weight (He was born at 37+6 so I do think that affects his %'s especially this early in the game). He was meeting his physical and social milestones so that was great. But he was/is still having food allergy issues which is a bummer. His 6 month well visit is next Friday and I'm REALLY hoping he's bumped up on the charts. He's been pounding purees like a champ in a addition to nursing like a madman, so I'm hopeful!

Good! 4yo had her check up this morning. DH was really hyping her up to be strong and she did great until the nurse brought in the tray of needles. She freaked out then. :*(
But everything is good, she's 75% for height and might be a little under for weight but might be growth spurt. Her hemoglobin went up! She's at a 11 now which is SO much better than we can hope for! (She has thalassemia minor)

Sad and a bit stressful b/c of vaccinations and going there when she was sick--our doctor reassures me it's totally normal, but she cries now when he enters the room and freaks out about getting weighed and measured. The last two times she got her shots, she looked at me like I'm a big traitor. I'm so glad we don't have to have those for awhile!

@autumnlove: being born at 36 weeks IS a factor, and one my ped tends to forget without a reminder. Also a factor: if LO just got super mobile.

It was great, I finally pulled the trigger and switched her ped for her 12 month visit to one we had seen for a sick visit and liked way better. She actually bothered to at least pretend to remember us unlike her original one. LO is a tiny tot but thankfully they don't seem too concerned (taking after mama) and I am looking forward to our next visit next week because I feel we've made some definite progress with the different things we had to work on (feeding issues).

We go on Monday for his six month! At his four month, all was well - 75% for height, weight, and head!!

My DD had her 2 year one and is even taller than before (99%+). Weight was up a bit around 80%. She has grown similar to me so she will probably end up being 5'10-6'! Everything else was good except she's had lingering ear infections for 3 months so we finally had to get a zpack to knock it out. Also, she hates leaving the doctor so she throws a fit and runs off when we have to leave.
