12 Month Stats

We just got home from Jake & Mal's 12 month check-up with their pediatrician, so we have new stats! Both kids got 4 shots plus a finger prick, so it was a doozy! I think everyone at Presbyterian Hospital & the surrounding area could hear the crying. They got to have snack cups in the car, so I think they'll survive now. Hopefully, the nap they just started will be a long one!

Cute little one-year-olds on a recent Sunday morning. Who can resist coordinating seersucker?Mallory is still our petite little lady at 17 lb 3 oz (8 %) & 27 3/4 inches (15%). Continuing in her pattern of above average intelligence, her head measured a whopping 18 1/4 inches (80%). Dr. Denison's comments on her card say "Beautiful child - very cautious!" We wonder if he meant to write curious, because she's really not very cautious. She was a bit suspicious of why he needed to poke & prod her, though, so maybe that was it. Who knows with a doctor's handwriting!


Jake is our big boy at 19 lb 8 oz (10%) & 28 1/4 inches (10%). That's right - almost 2 1/2 pounds more than Mal! He also remains in the big head club at 18 1/2 inches (70%). His comments read "Busy boy - doing well!" Busy is right! Keeping him contained during a check-up is no small feat. Lucky for me, he prefers Daddy!We may have to have a little ice cream tonight to make up for the shots. Happy Friday, everyone!
