Stats

There are birthday posts to come (so many pictures!), but we just got back from the boys' one- and three-year check-ups. I wanted to post their stats while I have them in front of me.

Overall, they did great. I remember fearing appointments with both of them this time last year. Now it's no sweat.

Ryan was a bit fussy, but that's to be expected since he's still battling a wicked cold that won't quit, and his top two teeth are coming in. He got two shots and didn't cry for long. I held off on two of the shots on the list for this visit since he isn't feeling well.

William likes to go to the doctor because they have a big climbing castle. He didn't even get to climb in it today because they called us back so fast. He normally doesn't mind the doctor because Ryan is always the one getting poked and prodded. I told him that he would be looked at as well but promised him that nothing would hurt. That was his mantra today - "Nothing will hurt me." He said it to everyone. The doctor and I kept our promises. No shots this time. Apparently the four-year check-up is a beast with a bunch of shots. I'll put that out of my mind!

Here are their stats:

Ryan
29.5" - 40%
20 lb 15.7 lb - 22%

William
37.25" - 35%
34 lb 11.2 oz - 78%

I see some different body types taking shape, but we'll see! Mikey is determined that these boys hit six feet for some reason, but they are so very handicapped by me. We both know that they are perfect exactly as they are!

Because I enjoy seeing the comparisons...

William at one year
30"
23 lbs 15 oz
Just barely taller but a full two pounds heavier. Wow! I think it was all in his cheeks!

William at two years
34.25"
31.9 lbs
The growth definitely slows down after they turn two.
