The Girls' Check-ups!

Both of the girls had their year check ups today!  I am very happy to say we have two very happy, healthy girls who are developing beautifully!  I give all the glory to God as He is the one who gives us our many blessings! 
At Keziah's 3 year check up today she weighed in at 30 lbs 6 oz. (50%) and a height of 3' 2.75" (+75%).  She had to get one shot and seemed to handle the initial poke just fine, however the entire evening today she complained and cried at random times that she was getting sharp pains.  She also fell on the cement on our walk back to the car and scraped up her knee a bit so I think that was bothering her too.  She had a bath tonight so hopefully she will wake up feeling much better!
At Adah's 1 year check up today she weighed in at 21 lbs 3 oz. (-50%) and a height of 29.5" (50%). Her head was 18 cm (-75%).  Adah had to have 3 different shots and also had to have her lead level and iron checked (which required a finger prick).  She also does pretty well with the initial poke but you can tell that she hasn't been feeling like herself all day either.  Although, nothing nearly as dramatic as her sister!  She is still pretty playful and happy!
UPDATE: (12/10/10) I got a call from the nurse today and she said Adah is slightly anemic and needs to be taking some iron drops (ferinsol).  We have to get her retested in January to make sure she is getting the amount of iron she needs.  Her lead levels came back normal!
