John & Nathan both visited the pediatrician today. It's hard to believe that John had his 2 year check up and completed his vaccines (only flu shots until he starts Kindergarten). Nathan had his 4 month exam and got the go ahead for cereal, fruits & veggies! Both boys are clearly going through a growth spurt right now according to the pediatrician.
So the stats/updates for our two team players are:
John is now 29 lbs (65%) and 34.5 inches tall (65%). That means the prediction for John's adult height is 5'10. Check back with us in 20 years or so and we'll let you know if Dr. Herman was right. In typical fashion, we can't take John to a doctor's office without running into some caveat...so I'm mournfully reporting that John's ear tubes are clogged again. There doesn't seem to be any signs of infection, but there also is no way for fluid to drain out of his ears and he's crazy congested right now. Back to ear drops!
Nathan weighs in at 17.5 lbs (75%) and 27 inches (97%). While his weight gain has slowed a little, he's outgrowing his pants in length. Dr. Herman claims that Nathan is teething, but also says we probably won't see any fruits of this labor until about 6 months. In the meantime, 3 meals a day of cereal, fruits, and/or veggies. As much as he wants! :) That ought to get the weight right back in line with the height. We were informed that he is now officially "too tall" for the baby car seat. So I guess we'll need to evaluate that in the very near future.
My babies need to stop growing! I now know what my mom was thinking when she would tell us she wanted to "put a brick on our heads." *sigh*
