The weigh in...

Both Owen and Ben had their check-up's this week.

Ben at 4 months....

Weight- 14 lbs 15 oz (50%)
Height- 25 1/2 inches (50-75%)
Head- 42 cm (75%)

Ben did really well and was so excited to have mommy all to himself. He squealed the entire time we were there and he loved looking at himself in the large wall mirror. He received a great well-check along with a few vaccines (which did not go over well with him...poor little guy.)

Owen at 24 months...

Weight- 27 lbs (45%)
Height- 33.5 inches (25%)
Head- 5o cm (80%)

So Owen is short and skinny with a big head. He'll be happy that he can continue to drink whole milk until his weight catches up.

Dr. Love was really impressed with Owen's ability to say and recognize all the letters of the alphabet and count to 20 in English and 10 in Spanish. Owen did really well with his flu mist and finger prick (for a hemoglobin sample), and only cried for a few seconds when he received his Hep A vaccine.
