Check Up

Took the kids in today for their 18 month check (just a bit late...)

Elizabeth is 27.1 pounds, 2 feet 9 inches high with a really big head (like 100th percentile)

Miranda is 24.5 pounds, 2 feet 7.5 inches. Average size head.

I think the measurements were more accurate this time as they did them on the big girl scale and using the standing up height marker.

I told the doc of Miranda's continued pooping problem and Elizabeth continued coughing issues. She didn't have any magical answers, but is trying a couple new things.

Parker came along too as he was sick (and I couldn't leave him at the co-op as planned.) Doctor listened to his chest too and detected some wheezing. She suggested I give him some allbutorol at home too, so I did. It worked incredibly well for about an hour. It made me realize just how little it is doing for Elizabeth.

She suggested a tape player for when they wake up at night. Something we use at the bedtime routine that they can go press on when they wake up at night. The waking up at night has gotten out of control lately. It's like we have new borns again. Yuck.

Otherwise, all is well.
