a trip to the doctor

i scheduled a joint doctor appointment for my two guys this week - they both needed to see dr. p for well-checks and i thought i would save myself some time and take them together.  i was a little nervous about how many breakdowns would possibly occur but everything was just fine.  colin was absolutely wonderful and made me so proud.  he was perfectly well behaved which made me wonder why he doesn't act like that all of the time but i chose to just enjoy the moment, ha. 

aw, brotherly love.

i want to make note of the fact that colin was so excited to go see the pediatrician.  he loves our doctor and luckily has not seen the pediatrician more than once (maybe twice?) in the last year.  he got dressed up and fixed his hair and was such a big boy answering all of her questions.  he really is turning into quite the little boy - not much 'baby' left in him these days.  ok, onto the stats.

cheese!

colin - 3 years old
height: 37.25 inches (35th percentile)
weight: 31 lbs 11oz (49th perecentile)
notes from the pedi: everything is great...he is growing along just as he should be and we were both happy he did not have to get any shots this time!  she did already warn me about the 4-year checkup though....we have plenty of time until then.

davis - 2 months old
height: 22.75 inches (44th percentile)
weight: 11 lbs 10oz (49th percentile)
notes from the pedi: he has moved way up on the growth charts in the last month!  he gained 3 lbs in 4 weeks so i feel like my job as a 'dairy farmer' is going well!  he was cooing and smiling and flirting like crazy with the doctor too.  he got 2 shots and an oral vaccine - poor boy, he was not too happy.

handsome boys.

it was a good visit to the doctor and even though i see them every day and know i have 2 healthy, growing boys, it is nice to hear it from the doctor too.  :)  it is still so surreal to type 'boys'!  i normally take a photo of colin/davis at the pediatrician (i don't know why, just do) but i was a little occupied this time.  i did manage to get a couple pictures on the way out - this was an occasion to remember, for me anyway.  :)

colin - this is taking a very long time.  ha!
