This morning I took the boys to the doctor for their 3 year and 1 year checkups. They did fabulous. X loves going to the doctor because they have a fish tank, cookies, and stickers. Really, what more do you need? X was thrilled to stand on the scale, get his blood pressure checked, listen to his heartbeat, measure his head, touch his toes, etc. I laughed when the nurse gave me a gown for X to put on over his underwear and socks. The child has no modesty yet so we just left the gown on the table and he strutted his stuff in the exam room with his racecar underoos on! He got his first shot in over a year so he had no idea what that was, but he did awesome and the nurse was great at distracting him. Plus, once he saw that he got a bandaid he was in heaven - he LOVES bandaid.
The boys are growing well. Xavier is 37 lbs and 40 inches tall. He is in the 90% percentile for weight and height. Wes is 22 lbs 10 oz (44%) and 30 3/4 inches tall (75%). He's a little smaller than X was at this age I think (but I'm too lazy to actually go get the baby book and look it up).
While we were at the doctor I asked if I should have X's hearing checked. It seems to me that X's normal voice is soooo loud! And he really struggles with the concept of talking softer. So the nurse checked him (with this awesome little tool that looks like an ear thermometer - so quick!) and told me he's just fine. Really?? Our doctor just laughed and told me his loudness will come in handy when he's partying in college. Gee, thanks!
