The girls had their well-child checks on Friday morning. Kylie is in the 95th percentile for her height (figured that) and the 60th for her weight. Kacey is in the 50th percentile for her height and the 5th for her weight. And no I didn't forget another number, it's 5... now the kicker is, Kacey (on any given day, at any given meal) eats twice as much as Kylie! When I make the plates up for dinner, Matthew will put them on the table and give the girls the wrong plates. Kacey's plate always has more food, because she eats way more. Weird, huh??!

Kylie got 4 shots, and Kacey got only one. Kylie was such a champ, 2 in one arm and 2 in the other, the nurse really poked those big needles in her arm too, no gentleness about it. Kylie cried on the last shot, the nurse said it stings really bad (MMR) which is why she always does it last. Kacey cried with her shot, smart little cookie then continued to kick the nurse away... she couldn't even get the bandaid on her, I had to do it.

Kylie's having a little reaction to her shots, the MMR left a bruise...
The DTaP, just today, started itching and is very swollen and red and HOT, very very HOT. I've been putting cold compresses on it. I didn't realize how swollen it was until she got dressed and I could see how loose her dress sleeve was on her right arm but then how tight it was on her left. She's a tough little thing though.
To lift her spirits a bit, I did a French Manicure on her nails. And then put a sparkly nail polish on top (you can't see it well on the photo), but she's just beside herself in delight!!! Mind you, my nails are dull and boring, but my daughter's look great!!!! :)
Here are some Sunday morning pics, no family picture though... The Stake Presidency was here today so Matthew had meetings all morning and never made it back home... And I have no clue how to do the timer on the camera.

I hate when the kids have shots! Ouch, poor Kylie's arm. At least she got her nails done, that always makes me feel better!:)
Ahhh, yes... the dreaded immunization shots. I agree that the little ones are troopers to be able to take them all.
Kylie's arm does look 'hot'. That red blotch looks pretty darn big. I hope that she feels better real soon.
Tell Kylie and Kacey that Aunt Julie and Uncle Tom send them a big hug and let them know that we think that they were big girls.
Love,
Aunt Julie and Uncle Tom
Shots are no fun. But, I guess the alternative could be much worse. Love the nails!! Good job Mom!!
I love your blog header. It looks really great.
Your girls look so pretty in their dresses too!! BTW you look pretty terrific too.
