4 month and 3 year check ups!

We got a 2 for 1 today (not literlly, I am pretty sure we are paying for 2 appointments! :).  Allison was the big sister and went first.  As everyone who has seen Miss Allison knows, she is petite (weight wise, I mean).  Although she must be going through a growth spurt or something, we can't seem to fill her up!  And I love it!  Anyway, she did great showing Kara how to be a good pt.!  She weighs 28.4 lbs, 25% for age, and is 37 inches tall - 50% for height, explains the tall skinny think (hmm, I wonder where she gets that?!).  She got her flu "shot", we tried the mist with her this year!  No shots, yeah!  She also had a vision and hearing screening.  Vision went well, she has perfect vision!  They have the kids point to the matching letters, but I was pretty proud, instead of pointing she said the letters since she knows them!!  The hearing screening she didn't quite do.  She raised her hand everytime the nurse told her to raise WHEN she heard the beep.  But she would also raise it for the beep or look at her.  I am not too worried, I know she can hear, the problem is listening!!  :)

And Miss Kara Beara (one of her MANY nicknames!)...she also did great, charmed the pants right off the nurses and dr.  But my poor baby.  She has had a cold/runny nose for a few days (and actually had one last week too, I thought she was over it and it seemed to come back on Sat.).  She has not had a fever and it has been clear.  She has been getting up 2x at night, but she eats and goes back to sleep, hasn't seemed exceptionally fussy, so I did NOT think she had an ear infection...WRONG.  Poor kiddo, her left ear was very red and filled with icky fluid Dr. Swanson said.  Ugh.  Looks like she is taking after her big sister!  Allison was 4 months when she got her first ear infection too.  So, MAYBE, once this clears up, she will sleep all night...?!  Really hoping and praying!  Then again, sometimes I don't mind cuddling her at night.  She is my last baby.  And as for my little chubs stats...15lbs 5oz and 25 inches long - both 75th %.  But believe it or not, Allie was chubby at 4 months too (a bit smaller, 14lbs 10oz and 24.5 inches).  But otherwise they are doing good and growing fast!  I can't beleive they are 4months and 3 years already!  Allison is sooo excited for her b-day party this weekend!!
