One and Two Year Appointments

On January 7th my kids had their one and two year doctors appointments.  Madison had 3 shots and Ethan had 2 shots.  We stayed in the tiny waiting room for two hours!  That is a VERY long time for my kids :)  Madison had to be tested for RSV since her lungs were sounding very congested.  Thankfully it came back negative!  She is suppose to start on baby Zyrtec to help her with all of the crazy allergies she seemed to acquire from me :(   She pulls on her ears a lot, has watery eyes, and red rings around the eyes from the allergies.  Hopefully, the Zyrtec will help her.  My mothers heart hates to see her have to deal with that.  The good news is that the Zyrtec should also help her with the eczema on her legs!  Both of my kids have struggled with eczema, but Ethan has grown out of it for the most part.

Ethan had his shots first.  He cried, but quickly got over it.  And then came Madison's turn....  Poor girl!  I had to hold her down on the table.  I would have gladly taken 20 shots to not have her go through that.  The look in her eyes said it all.  She just looked so sad and confused.  I am so glad that is over!

Madison is 21 lbs.  She is in the 90% in length and in the 70% in weight!  She hardly gained any weight from her last appointment and seems to be really stretching out and losing her baby chubbiness.  My amazing eater, Ethan, has gone down to the 50% mark in height and is still at the 90% in weight!  The doctor says not to even be concerned about it because he will be going through his 2 year old growth spurt soon, and his weight isn't an issue at 2. 

After the appointment my whole family went out to eat.  It was Madison's birthday and my anniversary.--What a day!
