Three year old stats

We visited Dr. Matsumoto yesterday for the girls' three year well check and they are doing awesome! Ryan is 37.5 inches tall, 31.2 lbs, and has a BMI of 15.6. Reese measured 37 inches tall, weighed 30.8 lbs, and a BMI of 15.8. They were able to take Reese's blood pressure (86/52), but Ryan was too squirmy. The doctor had the girls hop on one foot and bend over to touch their toes. She asked if they were speaking in full sentences (yes), riding a tricycle (yes), and potty trained (yes). We didn't have to get any vaccinations this time which was really nice. Dr. M said that it's usually really easy to bring a new baby home to twins because they don't have any memory of being alone so there probably won't be any resentment towards the baby. She also said not to be surprised or get upset if one or both is not interested in the baby. I think they'll be great with the baby and it really wasn't something that crossed my mind, but it was nice to have her reassurance.

How cool that you see Dr. Matsumoto! We go to TLC Peds too and she has been a huge part of our kids lives. We see Dr. Miller most of the time, but picked the practice because of Dr. Matsumoto. The kids both love going there, which is good, cause it's not always fun! :P
