Well, birthdays mean one thing, right? A visit to the Dr! Mark won the lottery and got to take the girls in for their 2 and 4 yr checkups today. I guess it went okay. Claire got 5 shots - ouch! and Laura only got one. Claire was very brave, I hear, and cried some. I think Mark and Magen were more traumatized by the whole thing. Anyway, here are the vitals everyone loves to hear about post-visit. Laura is, as Keely says, a Toddler Super Model. She weighs 23 lbs and is 35.5 in tall. As you can see from my groovy charts, her height remains steady, but her weight has been dropping percentile wise. The Dr doesn't seem fazed by this. Lucky genes, I guess. 
Claire is still tall as ever. She weighed in at 34.5 lbs (42%) and 41 (81%) [though I think she really is 42" having measured her recently. In any case, she has remained fairly consistent over the years.
[Can you say I am an Excel nerd?! ;) ]
Claire had a great birthday, complete with a new headlamp from Auntie Nancy (Laura got one too, to go with the sleeping bags and tent Mark and I bought for them). The girls had a blast with Auntie Nancy all afternoon and then with Magen too in the evening. They stayed up far too late, but were having such a good time, I couldn't bear to put them to bed. Plus, we were trying to stay up to see Mark as he had been in DC for the past two days.
I will blog later about Claire's birthday party (some pics here), but need to get to bed. I think maybe we should all take a lesson from 4yr old birthdays and make wishes whenever blowing out candles and have multiple celebrations for at least a week to celebrate our existence on this earth. Until next time...
