check-ups

we saw dr. harper today. he's been our family doctor for 13 years! nathan had his yearly physical and elise had her four month checkup.

nathan officially broke 100 pounds! he weighs 107 pounds and is 5' 4.25". he was vaccinated against meningitis and isn't feeling very well this evening. other than that, he is happy and healthy!

elise weighs 21 pounds! she's in the 99.7th percentile for height, and her weight seems to keep climbing the charts above that. the doctor said that i need to limit her to three meals and two snacks per day. any other time that she wants to nurse i need to give her a water bottle, try a pacifier again, or at the very least keep her intake to a minimum if she's nursing outside of her meals and snacks. she got her four month vaccinations and has a slight fever tonight.

shelby didn't have an appointment. she doesn't have to go back until she's five. she did, however, get a sucker :) way to go shelby!

we went to dinner with the coles tonight. it was me and sandra and seven kids! it's not as bad as it sounds, really. her oldest is 18, then she has a 14, 12, and 10 year old. between them and nathan, they take care of shelby and elise.

sandra asked shelby what elise's name was... she said phat fat! how funny is that! i took a little video of it, i'll see if i can upload it tomorrow. it's hysterical right now, but we'll need to stop that pretty quickly!
