Allie's 3 year old well visit:
36 1/4 inches (30th percentile)
27 1/2 lbs. (25th percentile)
Everything checked out great. My only concern with Allie is that she has started stuttering. Its not all the time and its not just certain words. But sometimes the words just will not come out and she gets so frustrated. The other day she was trying to ask me "Where are we going?"....instead it came out "Wh-wh-wh-wh....going." I knew what she meant, but I tried to encourage her to try to ask again saying all of the words. Another example, "Momma, can I loo-loo-loo-loo out the window?" Again, tried to encourage her to get the word out, but she instead substituted the word "watch" instead of "look". And, she has always said "t's" for "c's" (example for car she says tar, because is betause, and if the word starts with "t" she substitutes with the letter "p". Example: "crying" is "prying"). So, we are going to take her to see a speech therapist so they can evaluate her.
Also, Allie she is addicted to apple juice out of her Dora straw cups. I am very well aware that these need to be taken away from her and she drinks her fair share of the juice along with mine, Stephen's and everyone else in our neighborhood. So, starting today she will get one 6 oz. serving of juice in the morning. Other than that it is water. I'm hoping by putting water in her Dora cups that she will not want them as much and it will be easier to take them away completely.
Gabe's 6 month well visit:
26 inches (35th percentile)
15 lbs. 13 oz. (25th percentile)
We'll start by addressing the tremors. (About once a week Gabe will start shaking while eating a bottle and if he is overly tired) I showed Dr. Godwin the video I had taken of Gabe having a tremor episode and she wasn't concerned with it. She said it was not a seizure and some babies do this and it may be his way of soothing himself. She said some kids hit their heads lightly against walls when they are tired. Anyway...I feel much better hearing that. Also, a friend of ours' son did this same thing. They took him to a neurologist who dismissed it saying it was a benign tremor and he will grow out of it.
Gabe got 3 shots and 1 oral rota virus something...so I expect the next few days to be filled with lots of fussiness!

Glad that the shaking is nothing! Sweet babies...sounds like they are doing good. Anything that starts with an "s" Addy totally leaves the "s" off. Funny...let us know about Allie.
I'm glad to see the kids are doing fine. If the doc says the tremors are nothing to worry about, I'm sure they are not. I hope things work out for Allie. I'm sure the speech therapist can help her correct herself.
Hey...first, hugs to you all!
I wanted to let you know that the stuttering is also pretty normal. Patch stuttered quite a bit from 3-5. You may or may not remember it...it is more common in little girls, too. I'm not a doctor, but you know, I play one on tv...so I am betting she grows out of that!
Glad to hear that the tremors are nothing to worry about.
Love to you all!
Bethany, So glad to hear that your babies are so healthy!! We just went through a bought of the flu, what a mess! I had to comment though cause Allie's weight made me chuckle. My little sprout is such a rolly polly little girl, 19 months old, and weighs the same as Allie!!
Happy to hear the kids are healthy and happy! I bet you are relieved to know the shaking is nothing. Hopefully Gabe will do OK with the shots and your week will be pleasant:) See you guys soon!
