1 & 3 Year Check-ups

Wednesday morning, I took these two turkeys to their 1 & 3 year check ups.

Overall, they did very well. Both of them had to get their fingers pricked for the first time {as part of their well visits} and NEITHER was a fan. I am pretty sure Carter was ready to get out of there as soon as that was over.

Callen had fever the day before, so I wasn't sure that he would let her be given her shots, but she got 3 anyway. It made my heart hurt, she was so upset that she couldn't catch her breath and so couldn't really cry. AWFUL. Neither of my children had had such sad reactions from getting shots prior to that. She came home {wasn't in school since she had had a fever the day before and had to be fever-free for 24 hours before going back}, and played for a little while before taking a 4+ hour nap to recover from her trauma at the doctor's office.

Dr. Smith was really pleased with both of their development! Here are the stats:

Callen: 21lb, 1oz {50th percentile--which hardly seems possible if you have seen this child eat!}, and 30in {close to 90th percentile}

Carter: 31.2lbs {50th percentile}, 38in {75th percentile}

Woadie looks as if she is ready to bolt. Glad all that trauma is a thing of the past. Glad too that both are the picture of health.
