Doctor check-ups

Today we went to the doctor for Trevin's 6 month check-up as well as Camden's 2 yr. check-up.

Trevin weighs in at 16 lbs, and is doing fine. He is still nursing, and has finally decided to take a bottle every once in a while so that I can have a break! We've been doing cereal, and I will probably start some veggies in the near future.

Camden is 24 lbs and we're going to be watching in the next couple months to see if he starts talking better. He should be putting a couple 2 word phrases together, and he doesn't! So, we've got to work on that. The doctor isn't too concerned yet (neither am I) since he is at least trying to repeat words that we tell him. I found out that he has an ear infection, which is actually good news in some ways because it explains the yucky eyes he's been waking up with every morning. The doctor thinks it's related to that. The ear that he has the infection in has already lost the tube that was put in last March, and as the doctor was cleaning out his other ear (TONS of wax in it!!), he "found" the tube in that ear. So, both tubes are officially out, and we'll just have to see what happens. We're also going to see how his sleeping goes after this ear infection clears up. He snores really bad again, and sleeps until about 9:30 most days, which seems a bit absurd to me. Both the dr. and I wonder if he's not getting a real restful sleep at night, which is why he sleeps so long. Not sure if it's related to his tonsils, so we're just gonna keep an eye on things and check back with the dr. in a month.

Overall, a good visit, with no major concerns. Jenna had blood drawn again, and after the ped. dr. called the endocrinologist to make sure they wanted it tested again, the endocrinologist said he wanted a urine sample as well. Of course, in the meantime, while waiting to hear if we needed bloodwork done, Jenna used the restroom. SO....we got to sit around & wait on Jenna to go "potty" again. It took 5 cups of water (and about an hour) before she could muster up a sample! Needless to say, by the time I left, I had 3 kids who were tired, hungry, and miserable!

Oh, and thanks for the guesses on my last post. Keep the guesses coming....I'll give the answer after I get at least 5 guesses or next Monday, whichever comes first :)
