Museum and check up

Yesterday, we made the trip over to the Junior Museum with Jack, Jenna and Kate. Kayleigh and Jack had a blast checking out the animals and running around. Jenna and I were glad that there weren't too many people there so the kids didn't get in anyone's way. Almost all of the animals were up and moving around. All, it seemed, except for the bears, which were all that Jack could talk about while we were there. I don't think Kayleigh even realized that we saw the bears. They were sleeping on their beds of leaves. Brian took in a lot of it, but once he got cranky, I covered his stroller with a blanket and he fell asleep quickly.
Kayleigh, Brian and I went to the doctor's office this morning for his 4 month check up. Everything looks good, although they did say that I need to make sure that his neck stays dry. He's drooling a lot, and he's starting to get a rash on his neck. The doctor was surprised at his weight--22 pounds 4 ounces!!! According to the weight chart that the doctor showed me, he's off the chart for his age! Brian is also 26 1/2 inches long, which puts him about the 90th percentile for length. I reminded the doctor that Kayleigh was always in high percentiles for her weight, and she's thinned out nicely. The doctor said that as long as his weight evens out on the percentile chart, or goes down, that he'll be in good shape. I don't think he's worried about it now, but he will be if it doesn't even out soon.

What fun! We're glad to get to now what's going on with the Eikelands. The kids are growing so fast, we don't want to miss out. Keep posting. Mia loves watching the Videos. -Villacampas in Largo
