Check Ups

Carson & Caden had check-ups today. They are a little behind schedule, but with vacations and the doctor's schedule, this was the earliest we could get in. Anyway, the appointments went well, and the boys wowed the docs and nurses. Carson showed off his moves, and Caden flirted. They both had to have shots, but only cried for a bit, which I was thankful for because I only had my two hands to sooth them. They really did well!

Now for the stats...

At 2 years, almost 2 months old, our little bit, Carson, weighed 25 lbs., 6 oz. He's in the 15th percentile for weight. He is 33" tall, which puts him in the 8th percentile for height. Our doctor said he's doing really well, and actually went up in weight since his last appointment. She said that a lot of kids lose weight during their 2nd year. She said that just because he is little now, does not mean that he will be small necessarily, but that some boys grow slowly. I'll remind him of this when he's 14.

At almost 5 months old, Caden is 15 lbs., 2 oz., 32nd percentile for weight. He is 27" tall, which is the 91st percentile for height!! Our doctor was super impressed with his development, and remarked at how strong he is. She couldn't believe how well he rolled over (EVERY time she tried to check anything on him). At this rate, I'll have to teach Caden not to pick on his "little" brother by the time they are 3 and 5!
