Both kids had a checkup yesterday- Grace because she is one and Jonathan for kindergarten. Grace weighs 21 lbs., 13 oz. (clothed) and is about 30" tall. She checked out fine, healthy, big for her age, etc., and the doc is not worried about her physical development. She has made a lot of progress in the past few days, which has been really fun. She learned how to climb up the stairs in sequence (not just the first two.) I've had some file boxes out in the playroom to pack away outgrown clothes, and she was able to get up on them and use them to climb onto the coffee table. She wants to try the same table food we're eating...as long as it is served to her on a fork and not as finger food! Silly girl.
Jonathan is doing fine, too, but has some fluid on his right ear and is not hearing well on that side. It's nothing to worry about and should clear up on its own, but we have to go back in a couple of weeks to test his hearing in that ear again. So, his inability to hear me clearly from the other room lately is not (or not only) the fact that he's five and has other plans in mind, but he really can't hear me well. So, for now, I'm being careful to speak to him when he's near me, and we are both less frustrated by communication barriers!
