Appointments!

Little miss Eve had her 4 year checkup a few days ago, and as expected, is doing absolutely perfect. Here are her current stats:

Height: 41 inches (75th percentile)
Weight: 38 lbs. (75th percentile)

I have to say though that we measured her at home and she came in at 42 1/2 inches so I don't think they got an accurate measurement. Oh well...she is still going to be one tall girl! Thank God she didn't need any vaccinations, but next year at her 5 year checkup, she will be getting a TON of them in preparation for kindergarten. Chris will definitely be taking her to that one! That same day as her checkup, Eve also had her second ever dentist cleaning and checkup. She goes to a pediatric dentist who recommends letting the kids go back by themselves after the first visit so they gain their confidence. We were all set to insist we were going back with her being the overprotective parents we are, but Eve actually wanted to go back by herself! The child is so self assured and unafraid of everything that it just amazes me. Anyways, she did great...they did xrays and the whole bit. No cavities and her teeth are perfect.

We have also been in the process of having Mister Cole evaluated for his speech. As you know, he is now 27 months old and still says only a small handful of words. He has already been evaluated by a speech therapist. And later this morning, he is being evaluated by a developmental therapist. The reasoning for both of them is that he has to be seen by 2 seperate therapists in order to qualify through the state's early intervention program. So we shall see what happens today, and then I'll give another update once we come up with a therapy plan next week.

Overall, life is good. I love my two kids and husband more than I could ever try to put into words. They are my everything.
