Last week we had their appointments. I manned this one by myself so it was pretty crazy. Caiden was up first. They did a hearing test -he had to wear headphones (which he's never worn before) and every time he heard "the" noise he was supposed to clap. He did exactly what the nurse asked and I was almost in tears at how hilariously adorable it was. He had this clueless look on his face and did this very soft clap, so cute. And good news -he passed! They also tried to check his blood pressure but he wasn't sitting still enough.
Caiden weighed 30 lbs. 4 oz. (33rd percentile) and 37.1 inches long (42nd percentile). They don't do the head measurement anymore I guess.
Grace weighed 19 lbs. 5.5 oz. (43rd percentile), 28.2 inches long (15th percentile) and her head is in the 52nd percentile. She received one shot and got her iron levels tested. Unfortunately they were a teeny bit lower than what Dr. Roberts likes to see -10.7 and he likes it at an 11 so he will test her again at her 15-month appointment and go from there. She is still only on breast milk (which they say has lower iron levels than formula) so we need to continue the baby cereal that has some extra iron in it for now. I did do some research on my own and found that the lower range fluctuates anywhere from 10.5 to 11 depending on the doctor so I'm not too worried, but we'll see what happens next time.
