My tough kids

Aspen and Danny both had their check-ups at the same time, Aspen's 3 year and Danny's 15 months. It was great to be able to take them at the same time. They both happily played in the doctors office while we waited. I prepped Aspen that when she got her shots they might hurt a bit, but if she was a good girl I would get her a sucker! Well I guess the prepping worked because she didn't cry at all! I thought she would still at least whine because lets be honest shots hurt. But no she was my tough girl and definitely deserved a sucker. Danny was pretty tough to. He cried for about 10 seconds, but than was brave just like Aspen. He calmed right down! Both kids are ahead developmental which is always great to hear as a parent. Aspen even had her biggest growth spurt and is now officially on the charts for both weight and height. Whoaaa. I asked about Danny's eating habits because he usually only eats 1-2 good meals a day, but the doctor said that is great. Most kids this age only eat 1-2 good meals a week so Danny is eating tons compared to the average. Here are their stats:

Aspen:

• 27.2lbs (15%)
• 35 in(15%)

Danny:

• 18lbs (less than 3%)
• 30 3/4 in (45%)
• 46 1/2cm head cir (25%)

Danny has 5 teeth before his appt, 3 on top and 2 on bottom. Well the doctor showed me that his molars are already starting to come in! Silly kid. So now he has an odd number of teeth in the front, but he will be able to chew better with his molars coming in. As I've said before Danny is 100% boy and always on the move. Seriously the kid wont sit still for more than 2 seconds. He is extremely smart and what the doctor calls a problem solver. If he wants something he will find a way to get it. As am I am writing this Danny pushed a chair over to the light switch, climbed up the chair and is grinning as he turns the lights on and off! Danny has such great balance and always runs to everything, that is when he is not climbing. He is also our little comedian. He is constantly making funny faces or noises are doing anything he can to make us laugh. And it sure works Danny makes us laugh multiple times a day. He is hard to discipline because when he does something it is just so funny. Hes not trying to be bad he is just so curious!

Aspen and Danny you are both so unique and different in your personalities. You both are great sharers and you love to play together! You are best buds. Stay close to each other because family is what matters most. I love you both more than you may ever know!
