I took the kids to a new pediatrician today. She is a double board certified internist/pediatrician so our whole family can see her. I have had some issues with our current pediatrician. He is very kind and experienced but he tends to overmedicate, orders a surplus of lab tests ($$$), and he never washes his hands.
Anyway, with the exception of colds the kids are all currently healthy but here are there stats....
ERIK:
43 inches (85%)
40 pounds (70%)
I KNEW Erik had grown a ton since this summer. I am shocked at how high he is on the growth charts though - he usually hangs out around the 50th percentile.
LAINEY:
37.5 inches (87%)
29 pounds (50%)
CARSON:
29 inches (56%)
21 pounds (40%)
Carson still isn't babbling and I am concerned. I mentioned it to her and she said if there in no significant improvement in the next month then she will send him for a hearing screen and birth to 3 referral. Hopefully that kiddo starts jabbering soon!
I really like the new pediatrician. She is very new but seems friendly, smart, timely, and well put together. Hopefully, this will be the start of a long patient-doctor relationship.

Never. Gross. I always imagined him transferring germs from one kid to the next.
Wow Lainey and Erik are both tall!
