A bit overdue but we had the boys at their well checks with our favorite- dr W and they did a great job. I had hubs take the day so he could come with me, as I recall being really overwhelmed and not able to remember everything that happened the last time I had them both with me.
Big guy did a great job getting height, weight, blood pressure and vision done. All fabulous. He's still really tall, on the higher end for weight, fabulously low blood pressure (thanks gmom Dino!) and his vision was 20-25. Which I assume is perfectly fine. Mostly bc I think he misspoke the shape instead of actually not being able to see it. Oh well. We talked with dr w about getting an inhaler instead of using his nebuliZer and so we picked up those already at quite a hefty price. Of course I forgot to ask for a letter for school use, but I think when he starts at the new school, I'll just have a new letter written for neb, inhaler and hydrocortisone for dry skin.
Onto little man who equally did a great job, even if he was required to actually do nothing besides be cute and not make a fuss at being handled! He is still tall, skinny and developing nicely and doing all the things he's supposed to be doing.
Funnily enough, he and big guy are on the complete extremes of the bmi, which now everytime you go they give to you. Really, the bmi of a baby!? Anywho, big guy is up at 85 and little man is at 15. So dr W asks if big guy is going to public school next year for K, which he isn't but she said if by the time he's in 1st grade and is still up at 85, you'll get a letter! Mostly because it is a high bmi, but anyone who looked at him, dr W included, would know that he's really tall and solid. 50 pounds is quite a lot but he's sturdy, dense and very healthy. So she obviously wasn't worried. And then she looked at little man who is in the 20th percentile for weight and said, since he has a completely different body type, you don't have to worry about getting a letter! Ha!
