Vaccinations and Circus Band-aides

Today Anna Turned 4 months old and with that she went to her 4 month check-up. I thought I would be smart and kill 2 birds with one stone by taking Jacob in for his 3 year check-up as well...it was kind of crazy dealing with the two of them but at least I won't have to do the both of them for another year. Both Kids are perfect as can be...Anna weighs in at 14lbs 6oz and 26 inches long. I was looking at Jacob's old record and at 4 months he weighed in at 14lbs 9oz and was 22 inches long...which completely confuses me, because I remember him being so much skinnier than Anna and on all his records he is in a very low percentile and she is very high. Must be the boys vs girls thing, but it doesn't seem like it should be that drastic of a difference. Jacob now is a big 28 lbs and 36 1/2 inches tall, still small for his age but healthy.
I was so nervous for both of them getting their shots...Jacob is hard to control and pin down and of course Anna cries a lot and is hard to console. But it was no problem, in fact the hard part was getting Jacob to stand on the scale...go figure! Poor little Anna has a forgetful mother who forgot to give her her Tylenol before we left, but she cried even less than last time and has been her normal happy self all day. They both receive circus band-aides. Which made my little animal lover happy as a clam.
I am so blessed to have such beautiful healthy kids who I love to pieces.
