take TWO of these and call me in the morning

ONE of the benefits of having your children almost exactly a year apart is they are due to have well-child checkups at the same time and you can schedule one appointment instead of two for the both of them. (K, that's my attempt at being positive. lol) This week we had Malia's 18 month checkup and Kina's 6 month checkup. I've learned from experience that Malia HATES seeing the doctor. She will kick and scream and cry as soon as he comes near her (I think she remembers the shot part of the appointments). Our doctor, Dr. Lauret, is from Hawaii and very cool. We've learned that if he checks Kina first while Malia watches she is totally okay and even anxious to get checked out. It's so funny to watch - almost like she wants to show us that she is brave too, just like Kina.

Getting checked out by Dr. Lauret

Anyway, they both had successful appointments - Malia is in the 98% for height and 56% for her weight. Kina is in the 48% for height and 52% for her wieght. They remind me of me and Tali when we were little. Tali was always tall and thin and I was always short and fat. lol. I'm just glad they're healthy!
