4 Year Stats!

A month and a half later I was finally able to schedule the trio's four year old doctor visits.  This was the first appointment that I was able to do by myself...with the exception of shots.  Joe came and helped me during vaccinations thank goodness because those were full of tears! So here goes a breakdown of each little miracle:


Gavin Joseph:
31 pounds, 38 inches

Still our little guy and in the bottom 10% for weight and height but also still the Dennis the Menace of the group!  This kid has no fear and loves to "explore".  He puts on a tough guy persona but deep down he's such a sweet kid and loves to be a helper to everyone, especially his Daddy!  He's definitely Emma's favorite and will be her protector forever.  Lately he's been really getting into superheroes, though we had to explain to him what superheroes actually do other than running around flexing their muscles!  Spiderman is one of his favorites along with the cast of the movie The Incredibles. He's really good at coloring and definitely impresses us with how well he stays in the lines.  Gavin isn't a fan of extensive amounts of running so we're not counting on him being a cross country runner of any sort but could definitely see him as a wrestler or gymnast!  He says he wants to be an "Army Man" when he grows up! We'll see about that!

 Ava Grace:
38 pounds 41 inches

Ava still leads in both categories of weight and height.  She's in the 75th percentile for height and 60th percentile for weight.  She's definitely had the biggest growth spurt out of all three that you can physically see.  She loves anything pink, sparkly and FROZEN but loves to wrestle around with her brothers! We find ourselves asking her to play the quiet game often especially in the car because she ALWAYS has input on EVERY topic!  She loves to play with her babies and play the roll as Mommy.  Though they've all been potty trained for almost 2 years now, we still put pullups on them at night.  We decided to take a chance and have Ava go without a pullup the past few nights.  To our surprise, the first night we did 7am rolled around the next morning and she walked into our room with NO ACCIDENTS all night!!! We were so impressed!

All she needs are those Cowboy boots!

Brayden Stevan:
37 pounds 40 inches

Brayden and Ava always compete in size but Ava seems to slightly pass him every time.  He's in the 46th percentile for weight and 76th percentile in height.  Brayden is still our "outside of the box" thinker with an incredible imagination that can entertain him for hours!  Give him a truck, car, train or plane to play with and you won't hear a peep from him except for some pretty elaborate stories that he can tell you about each one (pretend of course).  He loves the water and is looking forward to swim lessons in a few weeks.  He doesn't enjoy playing with Emma as much as the others since it requires him sharing the toys; I know, you'd think he would be a pro at sharing considering he's had to do it from day one.  One of his best buddies is Andrew, who is in preschool with him and shares many of the same personality traits!  He loves to cuddle with his stuffed Clifford in one hand and car in the other!

Who doesn't love hammering nails into an empty box!

Water play!

Loves Meme and Poppy's boat!

Makin' some music with his guitar!

Doctor said all three checked out great developmentally to include eyesight!  Walked away with completed physicals so they can PLAY SOCCER AND START PRESCHOOL in the Fall! Can you believe we're there already?  In one year they'll be off to Kindergarten! Looking forward to Joe being home this year for Preschool milestones!
