After a very long night with Alexa I took her to the Dr. this morning to find out there is nothing wrong with her. She has been running a low grade temp the past day or so, and after her cranky, impossible to please night last night I thought maybe she was brewing an ear infection or something. They checked her all over and said she may just be running something viral that isn't symptomatic. Kierra did the same thing when she was small. She would get dark circles under her eyes and run a temp for a day or two, then all would be fine. They have the twin's pictures on their bulletin board. One when they were about 3 months old, and then the surf board pic from when they were 18 months old. They have changed so much. Alexa found them right away and kept showing everyone Tristan.."See Tistan"? "Come here.. see Tistan!" Of course everyone did as they were told and came to see the pictures. They have changed so much.
Alexa weighs 27 1/2 lbs now which is a slight weight gain, but she is still on the low weight side of the scale. She tops the charts on height. Tristan is about 1/2 to a full pound heavier than her and about an inch shorter. The Dr. commented on how healthy they have been the past several months. They used to get alot of colds and ear infections. He said those things usually taper off at about 2 years old. They still worry about the kids weight, but I told him they are very active and get a varied, healthy diet and still drink the pediasure 3 times a day. Alexa is very picky, but will eat when you find something she likes. I would worry more if they lacked energy or were sickly all the time. Afterward Alexa & I went to have lunch with Brian while he was working at the credit union. She loved being the center of attention.
I hear Alexa waking up again, so off I go to comfort and soothe. I am not doing another all nighter with her!
