Last Consultatieburo Visit for Evie

Today both the kids had a visit at the consultatieburo. They also both got some vaccinations. Each received a shot against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and polio, and Felix also received one for haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). As usual, they were both very brave and good sports about it all. Evie was treated with a lollipop immediately following the shot. That always makes everything better.

And now for the stats! Evie weighed in at 17.3 kg, or about 38 pounds. This puts her in the 81st percentile. She is 105.5 cm tall, or 3 feet 5.5 inches, putting her in the 92nd percentile for height. Her BMI is 15.5 which is in the 56th percentile for kids her age. Overall, she is a very healthy girl! As the title suggests, this is the last time Evie will go to the consultatieburo (as a patient). From now on she will visit the "schoolarts" (school doctor) for her developmental check-ups and vaccinations. If there's nothing to be concerned about, she will only see her at age 5 and age 9.

Felix is turning out to be a little shrimp!!! He weighs just 9920 grams, just under 22 pounds and in the 48th percentile. At first they measured his height to be 72 centimeters, but the doctor decided to measure again because it seemed so low. Then we settled on 73.5 centimeters, just under 29 inches. That is just the 37th percentile! Poor little dude! One is not supposed to compare children, but who cares! When Evie was this age she was in the 46th percentile for weight and 95th for height! But, yeah, different kids, boys versus girls, etc. etc. Below we have the updated height and weight charts for Felix.
