Consultatieburo

Today both children had an appointment at the consultatieburo (well-baby/child clinic). Felix is a whopping 15.5 pounds (7060 grams), putting him in the 91st percentile. They didn't measure him, not even when asked, because they say it's not good for the hips... So no measurement there.

Evie weighed in at 35 pounds, which makes her weight in kilo (16) just about the same as Felix's weight in pounds. Her height is 101 cm (3 feet 3.75 inches). The percentiles are 82nd and 93rd, respectively. Evie had her first vision test and had to demonstrate that she could put the block in the proper slot in the shape sorter. She passed both tests.

At the end of the visit Felix got his first immunizations. He didn't even cry until the second shot, and then only for about ten seconds. Hopefully the only side effect will be sleeping through the night. ;-) Felix goes back next month for another appointment and more shots. Evie doesn't have to return for another 8 months at which time she, too, will get a shot.
