9 month and 5 years appointments...

Just got home from our "well-baby checks". I'm not sure when you stop calling them that, but we'll stick with it for now.

Ayla:
17 pounds on the nose (that's like the 10%...great, we have another Brigg on our hands)
26.5 inches...like the 15%
Developing great.
Most likely allergic to milk...no more dairy whatsoever. Only soy-based products.

Lani:
40 pounds (55%)
42 inches (60%)
3 shots...that puts her all ready for kindergarten! :) She did great. She's one tough girl.
Ear infection
Sinus infection
Currently on an antibiotic.

That's it. Hope she's feeling better before we head out tomorrow. She looks pretty miserable today. We've never had to deal with any "allergy" stuff really, so this could be interesting. We eat a lot of dairy in the house. More milk, yogurt and cheese than I care to admit to. So it will be a bit of a challenge. But apparently we can get soy in most of that...and I'm sure it will be MUCH cheaper! HA!

The appointments...

They went well. Brigg gained a little weight and moved up from the 2 percentile to the 8 percentile. No more weight checks for a year now! Woohoo!! Ayla weighed in at 14 lb 4 oz. That is much smaller than Brigg and Lani were at her age, but she's still in the 60th percentile. No concerns there. Brigg and Nalani both had booster flu shots and did great. Then Ayla got her 3 shots and I looked over at Brigg and he had his sweatshirt pulled up over his face. I said, "Brigg, what are you doing?" as I pulled it down. When his face popped out it was bright red and he was SOBBING. He said, "I don't want Ayla to hurt!" Too sweet. Now that is one great brother! Love them all so so much...
