Well Checks!

I was lucky enough to take both girls to their well checks. Alone. With a total of 7 shots between the two of them. There was plenty of nerves beforehand. We watched a few shows about the doc and we read a few books online and from the library to prepare Linnea for the big day. Linnea brought her new Doc McStuffins doctor kit with her and her Doc McStuffins Checklist. She also wore her Brave dress to help her be brave. 

I wish shots weren't so scary for her but they were and they are and it's normal. So after watching Harper lay down and get her "pokes" Linnea sat on my lap after doing awesome with all the rest of the appt and let the nurse do her thing while gripping her lil bear and me giving her a big squeeze. 

I took the girls to Choo Choo Bob's train store to play in the morning to keep our minds of the appt. We also went to Target to buy special band aids so she could put a strawberry shortcake band aid on the pokes. We had lunch there and then stopped at home for a few things before heading to the doc.

They got some new books, stickers and suckers from the appointment! Such big, brave and healthy girls! However, Harper didn't grow as much as liked and has been having a lot of constipation and possible digestive issues so we are trying soy milk for her. Since that hasnt helped too much we are going to a GI doctor this Friday. Linnea was 37 lbs but I will have to check her height. She was able to touch in the 3ft area of the pool this past weekend tho! Harper I think weighed about 18 lbs.

 After using a gift card and birthday bucks from Red Balloon Bookshop we treated ourselves to frozen yogurt...yes frozen yogurt on a freezing night in MN. It was delicious and yes we were the only ones in there.

 fun with mommy!

Fun with daddy's hat!
