The Pearsalls

Check-ups! Four months for the twins and yearly for the big girls.


Mollie - 12lbs, and I already forgot how long. 25% in height and weight.
Charlie - 14lbs, 23.5in. 25% in weight and 75% in height.

You would never know these two babies were preemies four months ago! They are right where they should be now, and Mollie is even a little advanced because she can hold her head up so well and roll over. Charlie will get there, he's just a little lazy. They both got 3 shots, too. Charlie was upset from the get-go because he was sleepy and I think he's trying to get a tooth, so he passed out pretty quickly from exhaustion after his 3 shots. Mollie was so good the whole time and just cried a little bit before she settled down and went to sleep, too.

Ella and Anna are doing great as well. Anna got 5 shots, and was so brave. She said, "I'm not gonna pry (cry)!" She tried so hard; but with 5 shots, I think anyone would pry a little. Ella, on the other hand, cried when everyone else got their shots, but not when she got hers. She literally paced around the room crying, "Oh! Oh! Oh!," while everyone else got their shots. It was like she felt the pain for each one of her siblings.

All told, we survived the 2 hour visit and it wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be.
