Double Doctor Checkups

Penn and Jansen both had some late well check-ups this week.  Penn was in for his 3 year old appointment and Janse for his 6 month.  

Here's the happy 3 year old...

Penn had his best doctor's visit.  He was finally sooooo brave!  For the first time ever he didn't cry when he had to get weighed and measured (that's right, age 3 folks).  He was so sweet with chatting with our doctor and he was so proud of himself.  It was a great confidence building experience.  Good job, Penn Rye.  So...how does he measure up?  He is sooo tall!  He's in the 85th percentile at 39 and 1/2 inches!  And he's right on track with weight at 32 pounds and 4 oz. smack dab in the 50th percentile.  Praise God for a healthy 3 year old!

Now, on to Jansen.  Here are his pictures.  Had to share all...

Jansen was kind of on edge the whole appointment because I had to wake him up from nap to come and then it was getting right up on his lunchtime, not to mention he is totally developing stranger danger/I-only-love-my-mommy-best.  He managed quite well even with his four sad shots. =(

Now, of course we have to report on the stats and compare to the other boys at 6 months (because it's so fun for me!).  Jansen is my shortest and second lightest at this stage (although the measurements they take are so inaccurate (wet diaper/dry diaper, stretched out well or squirmy wormy, either way it's fun to look across all 4!)).  When I first got the stats, I was concerned a little that maybe he wasn't getting all that he needed (although one glance at those chunky thighs always calls that doubt into question), but then when I compared to my other boys' weights, he is right on track for a Melder baby.  Phew!  

Jansen
26 and 1/4" (16th percentile)
15 lbs., 8 oz. (8th percentile)

Penn
28 and 1/4" (95th percentile)
15 lbs., 14 oz. (15th percentile)

Tavin
26 and 3/4" (75th percentile)
14 lbs., 13 oz. (10th percentile)

Koen
26 and 1/2" (50th percentile) - quite the sway on the percentiles, only 1/4" longer than J
17 lbs. exactly (45th percentile) - TANKER for a Melder

Jansen checked out great all over, praise the Lord.  So thankful for two great reports this week.  One grateful momma!!
