Ali's 5 year Well-Child Visit

Can't believe Ali is now a 5 year old and headed off to full day kindergarten (845-315), in just a couples weeks!

Her doctor appt. went well.  Meeting and exceeding all developmental milestones.  Height is at 87th percentile and weight is at 90th percentile.  She no longer is allergic to milk but we are watching her to make sure that it's not dose related either for a few months.  However, she did test positive for cat dander, peanuts, bananas and eggs. The only one that shows symptoms is cat dander, the other could be false positives, so should still be monitored. 

Some of Ali's favorite things to do include swimming-she can swim now the full length of pool unassisted and can do a couple different strokes, she loves it, and what I love about it is that she works SO hard and tries SO hard at it.  It's fun to see her so focused on something.  She loves playing school with me, goofing around with her dad, pretending to play doctor, setting up parties.  She's very friendly with other people and really enjoys other kids.  She's still pretty strong-willed, but getting better at controlling her impulses.

Big times ahead for Ali in the near future, very excited for her!

Christian is 1!!!

Can't believe my baby is one already.  Here are the updates on him and how his dr. appointment went.

Stats:

Weight:  25 lbs 14 oz. (96th percentile)
Height: 30.51 cm (75th percentile)
Head circ: 19.2 cm ( 98% percentile)

There were no issues at his appointment to talk about.  Our plan for trying to avoid allergies in him is to take it slow while introducing the usual suspects, like milk.  He has had baked goods and cheese so far with no reactions, so fingers crossed he will be good to go!  He received 3 vaccines (MMR, Pneumococcal, and Varicella).  Of course he cried but his sister was there to save the day with Puffs!  He has reached a lot of the 15 month milestones that the nurse listed off.  He sleeps from 7pm-5am and takes two naps ranging from 1-2 hrs. per day. 

Here are a few recent pics:
