Doctor's Visit and 4 year old mind

I've intended to get this info here sooner but just haven't the past 2 evenings. Oh well.

Raylee had her 1 year check up and shots Monday morning. She is a whopping 23 lbs and I think 26 in long. She's on a good growth curve so all is well. She had to have 4 different shots also. She was a trooper like always though and only cried during the actual pricks. The nurse did warn me though that Raylee will have a fever in 3-10 days because of the measles, mumps, rubella shot. It should run 100 to 103. I wanted to ask if they would take her on that day. :)

Ryland also got a shot on Monday. When we were at the doctor for Raylee's 9 month check up they informed me that our county just started requiring the hepatitis a vacinne before they start kindergarten. So we did that shot Monday. He did awesome (because he's a superhero). They also measured him. He is 43 in tall (I think) and still hasn't crossed the 40 lb mark - very tall and skinny. He had grown 2 inches since he was there in July for his 4 year check up but only put on 2 lbs. I guess he'll fill out one day so that I won't have such a hard time fitting him into pants.

The baby is well also. I am 14 weeks now - time is flying again. He/she is definintly growing (or maybe that is just my mom gut growing). I had a doctor's appointment Nov 29 and everything looked good on the sonogram. I don't go back until Dec 27. Ryland is so excited and tells everyone that comes to my office that his mom has another baby in her tummy - so cute.

I'll end with a Ryland story. Ryland says such hilarious things. His mind is always working and wondering. There was the time he informed me that 3 things melt - witches, chocolate, and mom (I always say I'm melting when I'm hot). There was the time he asked if chickens fly which Leland replied "not really." So then he wondered if a chicken would fly if you hit it with a bat. Well, good thought - not sure why we were pondering it but oh well. This past weekend Ryland joined Leland on a UIL trip to Aubrey. While eating at Taco Bell Ryland got that "I'm about to ask a major question" look. He finally told his dad "I'm glad you have hair." Well, so is Leland. He then wanted to inspect the top of Leland's head. Ryland then proceeded to say that Leland having hair meant he wasn't old yet because only old people loose their hair. Leland reminded him that Pappy still has his hair which Ryland replied "Pappy's not old!" Then Sunday morning in class the teacher was talking about Mary and how she was special because she was the mother of Jesus. She proceeded to tell him that he is special also. He said "I know and my whole family is special also. You want to know why?" Of course she wanted to know where his mind was headed with this one. He said "We are all special because we are all superheros." (We each have our own names and powers and are called the Mallett Team). I love the mind of a 4 year old.
