Dual Checkups

This morning, my Mom and I took the boys to the pediatrician for Matty's 3 year and Zach's 9 month checkups. Luckily, his doctor recently moved out of the old office at OPR into a brand new building right down the street...very convenient! Matty was in one of his wild moods there...running all around waiting room and not wanting to sit still in the exam room. When he went out into the hall to get his weight and height measurements, he simply said, 'I don't like this place', and then he told the nurse to 'make it quick'. Yikes. Then, he kept telling the nurses and the doctor goodbye before his exam even started! He had decided that he was done early I guess. Here are their stats:

Matty
weight: 28 lbs, 7 oz (13%). This was up from last year's weight of 24 lbs, 2 oz (11%). He has come a long way from his birth weight of 1 lb, 1 oz!

height: 38 inches (57%). This jumped way up from last year's height of 33 inches (11%). Again, he has come a long way from his birth length of just 11 inches!

Remember, Matty is still being compared to babies born full-term in May '08, so if he was being compared to babies born in Sep '08 (his true due date), he would be a lot higher in both categories!

Zach
weight: 21 lbs, 7.8 oz (53%).

height: 30 inches (84%). He was in the 70ish% for height at his 6 month checkup, so he is definitely turning into a tall guy!

He only had to receive one shot today, thank goodness. All in all, it was a great checkup for both boys, we are so blessed. Hard to believe that my boys are only 7 lbs apart at this point! Together, they almost total 50 lbs. I thought that the double baby jogger stroller was getting heavy...
