Time for Check-ups...

Today lucky Sam and Alex got to go to the Dr. Sam was really exicted because I told him that this was his kindergarten check-up:
Sam: "Really mom?"
Mom: "Yep, but you have to get your kindergarten shots ya know."
Sam: "Dang it!"
He did great though, no tears or anything! And he got Bugs Bunny and Taz bandaids, so he thought that was pretty cool.
Sam weighed in at 47 lbs, and is 48 in. tall. He is off the charts for height, and 95% for weight. Big boy and doing great!

Alex did not share Sam's same enthusiasm! This kid DOES NOT like to be messed with, by anyone really. He is in a phase right now, and throwing a fit is part of it! We do have to consider the fact that he has been "messed with" more than your average person, and all in 10 months. Although, I think he's just a pill!
Alex weighed in at 21 lbs 8 oz. and was 29 1/2 in long. His length has always been a question though, because back in December he measured at 30 1/2 in. The next month he measured at 29 in. Who knows, anyway, he's growing and that's all that matters!
He's in the 75th percentile for length and 50th percentile for weight. Considering all that he has been through, he is a big boy! We are so pleased with his growth.

All in all, the boys are doing great! Alex has started coughing a little bit, so we hope that he hasn't caught the cold that Sam and I are getting over. We are hoping that his RSV shot will offer some relief for whatever he's getting.
Thanks for checking in on us!
