Ellison's 3 year and William's 9 month check-up

William had his 9 month check up last week. He is actually closer to 10 months, but I kept forgetting about his well baby check up. I tend not to think about it when they aren't sick. Everything looks great. He did have an ear infection in his right ear, but I wasn't surprised because he had a cold and he usually develops one if he gets snotty. Anyway, he is weighing in at a whopping 20 lbs 5 oz. He is 49 1/2 in long. He is no longer rolling everywhere. He actually decided that crawling is the best way. He is pretty good at staying where I put him, but he definitely likes to get into things. His new thing is taking all that he can get off of our entertainment center. He is definitely all boy! The more noise he can make the better!

Ellison had her 3 year check up a few days later. She was such a big girl. She did everything that Dr. Snell asked her to do. She was completely healthy! She weighs 30 lbs 2 oz. I didn't catch her height but I do know she is in the 80th percentile. She is a tall girl. She is taller then some of her 4 year old friends! Will had an uncle who was 6'8, so it is in her genes. Hopefully, she will be tall and lean, but not freakishly tall ;) She is getting smarter by the day. Will and I are convinced she has a photographic memory (her grandfather does). We can read a book to her and she can almost immediately "read" it back to us. She knows all of her ABC's and all of the letter sounds. She can count to 20, sometimes higher depending on her mood. She LOVES school. She goes 2 days a week and will continue to go 2 days next year as well. I have a love/hate relationship with how independent she is becoming. She is so sassy! She keeps us laughing and on our toes at all times.

We are very thankful that both of our children are healthy and happy!
