Almost Year End Stats

As Jacob gets bigger and older, he gets to experience the joy and wonder of immunizations. December 11th was the date for his two months shots. He did okay. The first shot brought on a look of mild shock and a little cry. The second shot elicited a look of shocked horror and a much larger cry response. From then on the nurse was eyed with much suspicion. I understand now why they weigh and measure the little ones before the shots. All in all, he did okay. The shots made him sleepier than usual, but that is a much better response than crying uncontrollably four hours later.

We came home not only with Jacob having his shots but also toting a lovely new piece of paper on which to record his stats. Seeing that we had his, we also decided that Sophia should get hers as well. So here is where they stand for now.

JACOB:
Weight -9 pounds 2 ounces
Height -21 inches
(firmly in the 3rd -yes, third- percentile. He is thriving even though he is the weight that many babies are born).

SOPHIA:
Weight -30 pounds
Height -3 feet 1 inch
(nicely in the 75th percentile).

So both are growing fast and getting bigger than we could have imagined. We are exceedingly blessed with these two little ones.

Pictures to come soon!
