4 yr and 2 yr check ups

Today we had Aryssa and Carson's check ups. It went great. The nurse said Aryssa was able to get shots today and then be good until she was 11. So I talked with Aryssa to let her know, she was not excited about it but was ok with the fact she was going to get them. Onto stats!

Aryssa : 42 lbs 89% 

42 inches tall 89% 

Carson : 34 lbs 96%

35 inches tall 68% 

I was actually surprised with  Carson's. I thought his percentile for height would have been higher because he seems so tall but when you put his height and weight together he is at 75% so still a big solid boy. 

I am so proud of Aryssa and how far she has come. When she was born and they did percentile she was 3% or 5%, then she became tall but still low for weight. Finally when she was 15 months she made it to 82% and 61%. And now 89% for both! Amazing! She did pretty well with the shots, it was nice that she had seen me get some of mine while pregnant so I could explain that she was going to get 3 shots and yes they hurt but I will be right there for her. She cried but was able to calm down fast. She even got a little beanie baby monkey for the great job she did. She also got 2 stickers :) 

Carson has always been my big boy! From 2 months on he has been off the charts! First at 15 months he was only 94% and 92% everyone on Facebook laughed because I was excited he finally made it back on the charts lol. He seems taller than 68% but still that's above average. When you put his height and weight together he is about 75%. I talked to his dr about his talking also. I should say his lack of talking. Carson is the strong silent type.... Honestly he doesn't say much of anything. I know you are not supposed to compare kids, but aryssa was talking way more at this point. He doesn't put 2 words together and doesn't really say full words. For Elmo it is E, for Ernie (my parents dog) it is E, for Maycee it is E, aryssa is sysa, he says mama and dada but doesn't call for us with them. He will point to things excitedly but doesn't really repeat words after us. I should say he will repeat things, but won't always continue to use the word. I know he is smart he can do puzzles and can figure out problems easily but just doesn't have the communication skills. So we have an appointment set up with birth to 3 to evaluate his speech. I'm going to try and stay calm about it and pray away my fears. So if you have a second say a prayer for us :) 

So I just got a call also for carson to get a hearing test with the audiology dept at the hospital. His pediatrician wants his hearing checked to make sure he hears what he should and that there isn't an issue with hearing causing him to not understand correctly. 

So please pray if you have a second I don't think there is anything wrong with his hearing but I guess you just never know. 

So overall a great day.
