The Brown Brick Road

Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...

Pearly whites

My crew got clean sets of chompers last week! They all got good reports from the dentist and Spencer even found out that his two front teeth are loose! I don’t think he’s stopped wiggling them since!

Since Samantha won’t wear her hair anyway besides a ponytail, we tried to do an extra high ponytail so she could still lay down flat on the chair. I think it was a success!

The dentist even complimented them on how well behaved they were and said was a treat it was to have kids like them come in! A momma sure loves to hear that! Always happy for good dentist reports!

Time for your checkup!

I took the boys for their annual checkups last week and both look great and are growing big and strong!

Maxwell is 52 inches tall and weighs 57.6 lbs. Maxwell grew two inches and gained 5 lbs since last year!

Spencer is 49 inches tall and weights 53 pounds. Spencer grew 3 inches and gained 4 lbs. He’s leaning out!

They are both steadily growing just was they should. Will be interesting to see who ends up taller!

Clean chompers

Everyone has clean teeth! and healthy teeth!

We’re going to be making an ortho appointment for Maxwell – gotta get a consult about making room for all those teeth!

Also going to be making an ENT appointment for Spencer and his giant tonsils!

I was so proud of how well behaved my crew was the entire time.

Happy for all their pretty smiles!

Time for your checkup!

Samantha had her 4 year checkup last week and is a healthy and happy girl! She is 41 inches tall and 40.6 lbs – both in the 90th%! At her 3 year checkup she was 37.5 inches and 35.6 pounds. She’s growing like a weed! A very tall and very strong weed!

Spencer at 4 was 41 and 1/4 inches tall (75-90th%) and 39.6 lbs (75-95th%).

Maxwell at 4 was 40 and 1/4 inches tall (75th – 95th%) and 33.2 lbs (50th – 75th%)

While she didn’t act up quite as bad as she did at her 3 year checkup, she still really does not like going to the doctor. There’s just something about Nurse Shelly that puts her in a bad mood…a mood that didn’t change even when Dr. Walley came in!

Ha! Look at that face! She’s just got a strong personality and I love every bit of it! So thankful for good doctor reports and my healthy, growing baby!

Time for your checkup

I took both boys for their annual checkup yesterday and got confirmation that I have two strong, healthy, growing boys! Boys who unknowingly dressed like twinkies yesterday!  🙂

Maxwell is 50 inches tall (75th %) and 52.4 lbs (75th %). He’s a steadily growing! He’s always been right in that 50th – 75th % range but Dr. Walley said with this last growth spurt he’s pushed squarely into the 75th % range which is great! Hopefully he’ll continue on that trajectory. He grew 2.75 inches since last year and gained 5.4 lbs lbs. Good stuff!

Spencer is 46 inches tall and weighs 49.4 lbs (both 75th to 95th %). Again, he’s always been in that % and is growing just as he should!  Since last year he has has grown 2.75 inches and gained just over 5.8 lbs. Strong and steady!

For comparison, Maxwell at 6 was 45 and 1/4 inches tall (50-74th%) and 40.4 lbs (50th%). They could not be more different!  🙂

It was an easy visit with only a flu shot. We’re going to try and start weaning Spencer off of his Singulair and inhaler once winter hits. I would love for him not have to take daily meds.

And, because I like to do things like this, here are their yearly photos with Dr. Walley!
