Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Maxwell got new colors! Turquoise and dark blue…
He also got to get a tooth pulled! He lost one of the bottom ones so the ortho wanted to pull it’s mate on the other side to even things up. Maxwell handled it like a champ and was quite the fan of the laughing gas! ha! I’ll spare you the pic but the tooth they pulled was really long! That thing wasn’t coming out on its own anytime soon!
Working on that pretty smile!
I took Samantha for her 5 year check up yesterday and she continued her streak of really not liking going to her yearly checkups! This time she knew she had her 5 year shots coming and that was causing a lot of stress for her. I kept encouraging her and loving on her and we got through it – but not without some crying and screaming during the shots. Overall, she did just fine and we got a great report from Dr. Walley!
She is 43 inches tall and weights 44.2 lbs. At her last checkup she was 41 inches tall and 40.6 lbs. They’ve redone the charts and this puts her at 58th% in height and 75th% in weight.
Spencer at 5 was 43 and 1/4 inches tall and 43.6 lbs.
Maxwell at 5 was 42 and 3/4 inches tall and 36 lbs.
Samantha had no smiles for anyone and very little to say to both the nurse and Dr. Walley!
They also gave her a paper dress which she wanted nothing to do with!
This was right before shots – look at that face! ha!
She survived the shots, got over it quickly, and was happy with her reward of an Icee and a new Polly Pocket!
I sure do love my strong-willed, healthy, growing girl!!
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!
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!

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!
