Chase & Luke's Check Up

We went for Chase's 3 year doctor apt. yesterday morning. It was a big boy appointment, asking him to change down to his underpants and drape the "blanket" over him if he gets cold :) He did well, although is always leery of the doctor at first. He weighed 35 pounds (80th %-tile) and was 40 inches (90th %-tile). He's been the same %-tiles for over a year, pretty consistent with his growth. We didn't have any shots so things ended positively with a sticker and doughnut on the way to Cathy's house.

We asked the doctor if she could weigh Luke, just so that we could see his growth. The last time we weighed him on this scale was mid-Feb and he weighed 18 lbs, 10 oz, which was almost 1 pound more than the specialist at Children's scale. He weighed 18 lbs, 8 oz, 2 oz less than he weighed almost a month ago :( We weren't terribly shocked because he has days that he "eats" well, but most days are just not that great. We're going back on the 30th for his 1 year appointment. I'm really hoping that between now and then we can get him eating more consistently and maybe even gaining weight.
