On Friday, I had the pleasure of bringing both Avery and Elliott to the doctor's for their checkups/shots. I had thought Avery was done with shots for now... but I had completely forgotten about him missing one set when he had croup.
I was lucky enough that my dear friend Ashley accompanied me to the appointment; she held Elliott while I chased little Av around the waiting room.
I have to say Elliott, since he's still new to the pediatrician/vaccination game, he cried less than Avery. Oh, if he knew what he was in store for. Avery, having memories of this nice lady stabbing him with needles for the last two years, knew what he was in for as soon as we got him naked. But, ever showing us that he has inherited his father's sweet tooth, Avery's tears stopped as soon as Dr. Vaz gave him his lollipop. Does she know how to handle the kids, or what?
Enough talking already, let's get to the results. Avery weighed in at a whopping 30lbs 6.5oz and 35.5" (almost 3 feet). That puts him at 75% for weight and 75-90% for height. Elliot weighed in at 14lbs 5oz and just shy of 25"; he is 25-50% for both height and weight. What is the craziest to me is that Oliver at this age was 2oz lighter, but 2cm longer than Elliott. I would have bet money on Elliott being longer and lighter than his cousin. I guess that shows how different people can carry their weight!
Speaking of Oliver, he turned ONE yesterday. How quickly time flies. We enjoyed a wonderful brunch over at the Topolski's followed by swimming in the pool. I don't think Oliver really knew what was going on, but he definitely enjoyed himself. Happy Birthday again Oliver!
