Boys checkup
I went in today for Andrew's 3 year and Joey's 1 year checkups. Andrew went first with his checkup. He is doing great, still off the charts for his height and 75th percentile for his weight. Although, the doctor and I started talking about his persistent behavior and the doctor started commenting on the possibility of him being OCD. I'm not sure I quite believe that at this point as many of his traits is that of a typical 3 year old. I think he is just going to have a little of my type A personality and loves to be persistent with everything. Anyway, I'm supposed to keep an eye on him and if things keep going the same then she wants to see him again in 6 months. Other than that he is doing great. Next was Joey's turn. It seems he is not doing as well in the growth area. He has dropped down to the 90 percentile for his height, which don't get me wrong its still great but he was always off the charts. So in the past almost 4 months he hasn't even grown a full inch, which explains why he hasn't been outgrowing any of his clothes lately. With those results the doctor decided to do a iron test on him. The test came back that he has a low iron count. So he is now on an extra iron supplement that he has to take with his other vitamins. Hopefully this will get the boy growing again. We go back in for another blood test in a month to see how his iron count is doing. He is doing great on his weight on the other hand, and is still between 50-75 percentile. Other than that he is a very healthy little one year old boy!

A short Weber? That isn't in their genes I think :) I hope they are both alright and don't need any further treatments.
