Okay, so I am not going to get parent of the year award...

Thursday we took both of the girls in for their well checks. Hannah had been drooling and was a little whiney for a few days prior, but not bad. I thought she was teething because that is what happened when she teethed last time. I had given her tylenol a few times earlier in the week for her teeth. Well, when her doctor checked Hannah's ears, she asked if she had been getting up at night because she had a big blister on her eardrum. She said normally ears are red, but Hannah was probably in a lot of pain due to blister and its size. She also mentioned that she is getting her molars. So I wasn't completely wrong, but I just felt so bad for not getting her treated earlier.

Also, both girls had to get their shots. I had forgot to give Hannah her tylenol that the doctors office recemmends doing before getting her shots. It turned out to be a good thing, if I had given it to her they wouldn't have known for sure that she didn't have a fever. I was glad that Ben was there to take care of Hannah when Abby was getting her shots. Hannah did so good that the nurse gave her a sticker. She must have thought Abby did a good job as well because she gave her sticker to Abby.

As far as their measurements. The doctor is again concerned for Hannahs lack of weight gain and wants to add the instant breakfast to her diet as she did previously. I'm not too worried. She quized us on her milestones and she is doing everything that the doctor wanted (and more verbally). Here are their stats for those who are interested: Hannah 19#2oz -3%, length 31 1/4" - 45% and Abby 11#11oz (over a pound less than Hannah at 2 months) - 75%, length 22" - 45%. I looked in my baby book and I weighed less than Hannah does at 18 months, so maybe its genetic. The girls are at fun ages right now. Abby is a very happy baby and Hannah cracks me up. The other day we were praying and she got up from her chair, walked over to Abby and tried to get her to fold her hands. Without success and some prompting from us she walked back over to her chair and sat down. A few moments later she must have thought she needed her duck slipper, so she bent over and started jabbing at it with her hands still folded.

Hannah has been a bigger helper than I thought she was capable of at this age. When I change Abby's diaper she stands by to assist with getting the wipes, gets the boppy for me when I am done and she throws away the diaper. Whenever Abby is crying Hannah stops what she is doing, makes sure to get my attention and then goes to her. In the car last night Abby was crying and Hannah was visibly upset. She took Abby's hand and rubbed the back of it. It just melted my heart. Ben thought it was Hannah that caused Abby to be so upset (which could have been the case if she takes after her Mom).
