The Boys' Stats

We visited the doctor last Friday. Mason had his 3yr check-up and Jaxon's 5 mth check-up (really his 4mth, but we got started a mth behind!!). First, let me say that Mason was such a big boy compared to his first trip to see Dr. Ambrose. The first time was just for a new patient visit and he wouldn't get up on the scale or do anything without having a total meltdown!! This time he did everything he was asked, had to get a flu vaccination and didn't even cry (eye's filled up w/ tears, but that was it!!). He got some gummy bears from the doctor and a treat from mom after we left. Jaxon had to get 2 shots and sobbed his eyes out. I felt so bad for him, but once mommy could pick him up he quickly stopped.

Okay, so onto the stats!!

Mason is 38 3/4 inches tall and 34.5lbs. That puts him in the 75% for both height and weight for his age group.

Jaxon is 25 1/2 inches tall and 18 lbs 13 oz. That puts him in the 50% for height and 90% for weight!!!!! No, it's not a typo... we have a short, fat little guy!! I thought those thighs were getting chunkier, but I was guessing atleast 20lbs! He has started eating baby food, so we'll probably be at 100% at the next visit... Right after Thanksgiving!! Hopefully, his "rolling around the room" exercise will start to melt off some of the lbs!

So, it looks like we have some ABOVE AVERAGE boys on our hands. Dave's excited that we can breed some BIG BOYS for the football team!

Speaking of which, over the weekend we went to the city league football games. Two of the kids in the neighborhood play on the teams, so we went to watch them play. You could see Dave's mind working on which plays he would run if he were coach! A few more years and Mason and he will be out on the field in their football uniforms! Dad screaming at Mason, the quarterback, to throw the ball!! Oh, a dad's dream come true!
