Growing Boys

Today, both boys had well visits at the pediatrician's office. Here's the run down.

Micah, 18 months
33 lbs
35 1/2 inches tall
Basically, off the charts, big boy. The nurse said a lot of kids don't even hit 36 inches by the age of two, and Micah will hit it before two. So, we can all just imagine how big he will be as an adult! He had to get two shots, but after a lollipop, things began to look up.

Benjamin, 4 months
14 lbs 14 ozs
25 1/2 inches
He is in the 65th percentile for weight and the 75th percentile for length. The funny thing is that his head circumference is off the charts, and bigger than Micah's was at four months! The doctor said that Benjamin had amazing motor skills for a baby his age. Normally, babies are just rolling over from tummy to back. Benjamin can roll both ways with ease. Apparently that's rather rare for a third child since usually their older siblings baby them. But, since the other two are still young, he's having to fend for himself. Oh, and he got four shots and an oral vaccine.

Two healthy boys!
