Good News, Joy got her 18 month shots and cried only briefly. She's 26.1 lbs (75th percentile) and 35 inches long (off the charts, more than 95th percentile) and her head circumference is 48.5 cm (95th percentile). Not sure what the head circumference is for, but otherwise our darling daughter is going to be tall and skinny if she keeps this up. The doctor thinks she could get up to 5'10" if she continues this trend. So, I may not have shrunk her clothes. She's grown almost 6 inches in the last 6 months.

Bad News: Josh's asthma has really affected his lung capacity. To the point that he has only 20% usage. So the doc put him on three meds for the next two weeks. Singulair (once a day), Advair (twice a day), and Albuterol (4-6x/day). And we have to track him on the flowmeter for 2 weeks. And he'll be on those three until he consistently gets about 250 on the flowmeter.

Yours truly is not the greatest about tracking things like this, but I guess I am going to have to be. My child's health is at stake. Some days I think I really wasn't cut out for this job .....
