Kai had his 3 year-old well check this week. Getting out of the house and initially at the doctor's, I faced a lot of resistance. Once the nurse pulled out a lollipop, all was well and Kai was happy. Since he was initially throwing a fit, we had a hard time getting his weight. I stood on the scale and held him and then we subtracted my weight. Needless to say, that strengthened my resolve to do something this summer to get rid of this baby weight!! Kai's weight (with his clothes) was slightly over 28 pounds. That would be in the 15th percentile! We figure take off 2 pounds for his clothes, which would put him at 26 pounds and in the 10th percentile! The doctor was very happy, especially considering at his 2 year check-up he weighed only 22 pounds and wasn't on the charts. How 4 pounds over 1 year makes that much difference, I don't know, but she was happy, so I am, too. He put up absolutely no fight at getting measured and came up 36.25 inches tall. That's a 4 inch gain from last year and puts him in the 20% percentile. It's the highest he's been on the growth chart for both height and weight since he was 9 months old. Go Kai!
In other news, Finn officially pulled himself up on an inanimate object this morning. (Insert deep sigh.)
I'm not ready for this. Now I have to put dropping the crib mattress on my list of things to do. He hasn't done it in his crib yet, but he's been trying and I know the minute he gets his hand on something to hold he'll be right up. So far the bumper on the rails has kept him from getting a solid hand hold, but I don't want to push my luck.
And finally, Finn
almost slept through the night last night. He settled down to sleep around 8pm and didn't get up until 5:40am. Had he made it to 6am I would say that he made it through the night, but for me 5:40am is not quite there. But I'm so proud of him. His sleep was really disturbed by being sick and having our visitors and he finally seems to be getting back on track. Yippeee!

Don't you just love getting behind and then having to do the blogging extravaganza? Loved all the posts though. Kai and Finn are just the cutest. And what baby weight? You look great Ang! Lots of love, Amanda
It's funny how when you have kids the littlest things become the most exciting sometimes. Like a four pound gain or getting to sleep till 5:30am. I'm really not looking forward to having to go through all of that again come August. It took Ella six months to start sleeping a good 10-12 hours at night and it was rough. I feel your pain. Sounds like he's there though:)
I'm so glad Kai mostly cooperated! Good ol' lollipop!
Sounds like Finn is doing well too! Sometimes I can't believe how parallel their lives are. Isaac slept almost the exact same hours for the last two nights. Yay! Of course, I've probably jinxed the whole thing by typing it.
Oh, and I would have loved to have seen Finn pull himself up. Quite the feat! Slow down, baby!
