The funniest part of visiting the doctor with these two is discovering they weight exactly the same. 41.8. To the tenth of the pound, they're exactly the same. The nurse and I got the giggles when Vanessa got the measurement, then Eli stepped on the scale with the same number - we did a double take.
Both are healthy, growing, but on different points of the "percentage" scale. Eli is on the above average for length/weight and Vanessa is in the 25% percentile.
They were both happy, silly, enjoyed the process, all until Eli had to get his 4 booster vaccinations and then started crying because he didn't like what just happened to him. It's never easy to hold down your kid and watch them go from smiles to tears so quick. Even if we know it is good for them. Hmm...seeing a parallel there.

Eli got panicky when we had to take the bandaids off a couple days later.

I love to see your kids run. I know that is a side comment...the first photo of Eli in perfect form!
ReplyDeleteAnyway...yes the photos tell the story...you could write a short story for kids on this event! Smiles, routine Dr. appointment...and then the shots...ARGGG! But all's well that ends well ice-cream is a perfect treat. Good job kids and Mom!
