Updates from the Doctor

Alex and Evan went to the doctor today together for Alex's 18 month appointment and Evan's 1 month appointment. Alex weighed 27 lbs and was 34.5 inches tall. I thought he was looking a little heavy with his cute double chin and potbelly, but he was 67th percentile for weight and 95 percentile for height and head. Evan was up to 10 lbs 4 ozs from his 2 week appointment, so two pounds in 3 weeks! It is amazing how fast they grow. He has also grown an inch and three quarters since birth. Thank goodness my mom was able to go to the appointment with me - they would have been hard to handle alone! Evan's next appointment is his two month appointment where he will get some shots, which is March 16th. Alex's next appointment will not be until August when he turns two!

Update as of 2/24/09: For the family that was here this weekend and got to witness sick and pitiful Alex, we took him to the doctor yesterday and he has another ear infection! The doctor thinks that he got sick from the amount of congestion and drainage from his never-ending runny nose. Hopefully the antibiotics will work this time!
