1 Month & 4 Year Update

We went to the doctor today for Drew's one month check-up and Alex's 4 year check-up. This was a special milestone for Alex because he had to take a hearing test and a vision test. He passed both of them and enjoyed playing the "game". All was going well until we got the news that he had to have a shot. The look on his face was histerical - the look of terror. I thought we were going to have to strap him down! He ended up screaming his head off and getting loose and jerking the needle out of the nurses hand and it scraped his leg - good job Alex. He then proceeded to talk about how he didn't like the shot, didn't need the shot, didn't care if it helped make him healthy, etc... for the rest of the day. He also couldn't move his leg because it hurt so badly (according to him). Alex also got the flu mist already - glad to have that out of the way!

Drew also was in great shape! He was growing well - up from 30th percentile in weight to 60th - weighing in at 9lbs 10.8ozs. He had also grown 2.25 inches and is now 90th percentile for height. He is still the smallest of all three babies at this point, but not by much! He has another appointment September 21st. He has already changed a lot in the past five weeks. He is really filling out. He still wakes up about 2 times a night and prefers to sleep on his stomach. I am thinking he will start sleeping better in the next few weeks! I have to keep telling myself - weeks 2 - 8 are the worst! After that - it only gets better and to be honest - he has been pretty good. He goes back to the doctor in late September for his 2 month appointment.
