So for this round of well check appointments I thought I would be smart and have both of their appointments at the same time. Really? I must have major pregnany brain in forgetting how hard it can be taking one of them to the doctor, let alone BOTH of them. I must have been smart enough at the time to make sure Chris was not working the afternoon of their appointments, so he was able to come with us :)
Got to the office plenty prepared with lots of snacks and bribes to keep Crew from trying to jump around on all the chairs, and to keep Brody content on my lap. Like any other appointment, waiting 20 minutes can seem like an hour, but we managed. Everytime the nurse comes out to call a patient, Crew is right up there trying to run in the door, so finally they called his name and he just sprints and gets all excited. Crew thinks it is pretty cool to step on the scale and get weighed, and on our way to the scale he looks at the nurse and says "I like you doctor"! He is really into telling people he likes them, what his name is, "Hi I am Crew Price" even if you don't ask him, and my official greeter and loves walk people out the door and wave until he doesn't see your car anymore. My little social dude.
Crew's stats: 40 lbs, 40 inches (>95%) my
big boy!
*No concerns, we are still working on potty training (regressed big time!) and he is doing very well meeting all of development goals. No more shots until he has to go to school so that is nice! He is very very active, and very very high energy which has always been the case...
After Crew was done, Chris left with Crew which was helpful. Brody's appointment went well, tubes looked good, eyes are
completely healed!! Praise God that we do not have to go through with another surgery this summer!!! He is meeting all of his development goals. He is not walking yet, but since he got his tubes this month, he is finally able to stand and balance on his own. He has even tried taking steps the last couple of days. The doctor thinks that over the next couple of months we are going to see some major changes in him.
He is an active little boy too, always seeing how fast he can crawl up the stairs without me looking, or emptying everything out the drawers. If his partner and crime is around, they are able to do a lot of naughty things to team up these days. They like to lock themselves into different rooms and closets and hide from me, or they just love to play hard. Brody has gotten to be such a tough kid! He has no choice!
Brody's stats: 22.5 lbs, 29 3/4 inches (50%) my
average stud! I call him my mini Chris!
Josh and Stacey invited us out to the bay today to their parents cabin. It was a beautiful day and everyone had a lot of fun.
Crew and Josh have always had a great relationship, and Crew just loves him. Here they are with "baby" Cole walking out in the water.
It was a long day for the young boys, no naps, Cole fell asleep on the walk out..
Aimee loved holding Brody, he started out pretty low key and calm.... and..... then
We got the pool set up... and then...
Brody discovered all of the sand and mud and went to town!
Yummy it tastes so good. The picture doesn't really show how bad it became. Sand all over in his hair, ears, nose, eyes, you name it, there was sand.
So then we decided to let him play in the tide flats, until he started trying to eat the mud too. Silly boy!
Stacey and Cole chilling on the blanket.
