Check-Ups

I had the daunting task of taking both boys in for their check-ups yesterday. I will freely admit I was fearing it. But they both did very well. I put Sean on the scale and told him to stand still and he did. Then I told him to stand against the wall at the ruler so the nurse could get his height and he did. I was shocked at his good behavior and heaped much praise on him. He whined through the actual check-up, of course, but he let the doctor do his job.

Both boys got the thumbs up. They are both growing well and the doctor told me I had some nicely proportioned boys. Now, for the stats. Sean is 33 pounds and stands almost 39 inches tall. I knew he had a very recent growth spurt because a few pairs of his pants were looking a little short. I also knew his growth spurt had stretched him out thin because those same pants are suddenly falling off his waist. Eli weighs 15 1/2 pounds and is 27 inches long. He's tall and thin like Sean was, but unlike Sean, Eli has a very average size head.

Sean has no signs of anemia and the lucky dog didn't need any shots this time around. Eli had a few shots and took them like a pro. A wince but not even any tears. Sean has to see a dentist some time this year but other than that we are supposed to just keep doing what we're doing.
