Sully had his four year and Piper had her 6 (actually 7) month check ups last week and everything looked great. My main confession is that I have had minimal time to feed Piper solid food so she is basically surviving on breast milk alone. We are gradually getting better at it, but I feel like between Sully and Greta, the last thing I have time for is to sit down and feed her (sorry, Pip!). Dr Sam was very encouraging and based on her growth, said my method was working out just fine. Piper got three shots and Sully got two. Both were super brave and we are happy to not have have shots again until Piper is one. Dr Sam was quizzing Sully on his habits and Sully reported that his current favorite food is pancakes with syrup, which is so spot on. He asks for them with every meal. If Piper were asked, I'm sure she would say breast milk ;).
Sullivan was 33lbs and 4oz and 3ft 4 inches tall, putting him at about the 25-50th percentile. Piper was 17lbs and 1oz and was 2ft 4 inches tall. She was in the 50th percentile for weight and 30th for height.
We turned around and went to see Dr Nick (the dentist) a few days later. Due to some schedule changes, I ended up taking all three on my own, which definitely gave me some anxiety. Fortunately, Sully was an old pro and had no issues while Greta was a smidgen more nervous as it was her first time. She wanted to sit on my lap, which was great except for Piper, who decided to get fussy at the same time. Fortunately, there was a hygienist student who was able to hold Piper, so it all worked out well. Greta did everything except get X-rays, which is prolly ok, considering she is only 2 1/2. They both had clean bills of health and no cavities. Dave is in charge of teeth brushing, so needless to say, he was on top of the world with the good report.
