3 Year and 1 Year check ups

We headed to the Doctor today for the big 3 year and 1 year old check-ups. Ella is old enough to know what is going on and was not too excited about this. But all was well-she only had one shot but Roc had to have four! I hate this part of the visit, but you do what you have to do.

Stats:
Ella remains my tall skinny girl at 38inches tall (90-95th percentile) and 26 lbs (25 percentile). The Doctor is fine with this as this is where she has been for sometime now.

Roc was 31.25 inches (95th percentile) and 19.14 lbs (10%percentile) Head circumference 18 inches (25th percentile). I have another tall skinny one on my hands. I am ok with this if the Doctor is. He did not seem to be concerned about his weight (last checkup he was in the 3rd percentile) and just said to feed him as much as I could and since he is growing in his percentile he looks fine.

Not much else going on that is too exciting around here.

Roc is a mover and a climber so I have to keep a careful watch on him! He loves to walk up the gravel driveway and also loves to play in the gravel around the swing set-much to my delight as he gets very dusty and dirty doing this. He also loves dogs-He loves my parents dog and also my brother's dog-whom Kevin took care of while they were gone so it was a great delight to have her in our yard for Roc to play with.

Ella has been enjoying "organizing" still and has found some pictures of herself-she likes to get these lined up just so and enjoys doing this over and over. She also loves to go outside and pick "flowers" and "cattails" She actually loves cattails and was thrilled when Kevin brought a real one home to her the other day. She is also getting into looking at letters and numbers and wanting to know what they are-while I hate the thought of sending her off I am thinking preschool might be a good idea-we will see....

Hannah did a great one year photo shoot of Roc, but I have been having trouble viewing the pictures, but once I do, I will post a few as he is soo cute. Since Roc is such a mover it was hard to get him to sit still so most of these are him in motion!

Oh and this is my 150th post. A funny note-Abby started blogging after me and met this milestone a long time ago!
