I took the boys to the doctor today. Benson went in for his 2 year check-up and Owen had his 2 month check-up. When I set up the appointment I thought it would be a great idea to just do them both at the same time. Then I thought about it more......and realized it could be very difficult. You have to help hold down the child that is getting shots. I was worried Benson would be a terror and take off or get into things. It actually went really well. Benson was pretty good. The nurse actually said she thought he was one of the best 2 year-olds she's ever seen. I told her to come to my house sometime. For some reason Benson is always really good when he goes to the doctor. Benson just had to get one shot. He cried for just a minute and then he was ready to play with the light switch again. He didn't even care to keep his Thomas the Train band aid on (and he loves Thomas). I think he thought the band aid was making it hurt more. Here are Benson's measurements:
Length: 35 inches (above 50%)
Weight: 29.6 lbs. (above 50%)
Head Circ: 49.25 cm (above 50%)
Here's a picture of Benson playing with his Trains that he got from Grandma Bean for his Birthday. He loves it!
Owen had to get 4 shots. Plus I had them give him the first anti-Rotavirus dose. He'll get another one at 4 months and 6 months. I had Benson take this when he was a baby too and he never got the Rotavirus. We were so grateful! His cousin, Garrett, got it and it was really bad. I know many other kids have gotten it too. I don't want to go through that. They throw-up and get diarrhea that lasts many days. Not pleasant. Owen Cried after getting his shots, but soon fell asleep. I gave both of the boys some tylenol before so that it would work when they got their shots (I know---I'm so smart).
Here are Owen's measurements:
Length: 23.5 inches (above 50%)
Weight: 13 lb. 14 oz. (90%)
Head Circ: 40 cm (above 25%)
Doctor Johnson said he is definitely thriving. He is a great baby. He goes 8-9 hours between feedings at night. Which is a miracle to me since Benson went every 2-3 hours forever! I'm a firm believer in Babywise.
Here is a video of Benson holding Owen. This is what typically happens when Benson wants to hold him (which he doesn't get to do very much--obviously).

All of my kids were in the high percentile so it's fun having chubby cousins too! Brockston was off the charts at one point, he was so huge! But I just loved kissing his cheeks! That's the best part of chubby babies.
The pictures of the boys are cute. I am glad that they have the rotavirus shot now. It sucked when Garrett got the rotavirus. And yes I did post the blog of Garrett about "windy", but maybe Trent was there to help me, because I couldn't figure out how to put the pictures on exactly.
I just watched your movie again and it sounded like Benson said no hit before he held his arm down, cuz Owen was waving his arms. I dunno! I love how he kinda shakes his hand a bit wanting to hit but knowing that he shouldn't. Cute clip!
gotta love the "be gentle" reminders over and over. Mariko picked Kaia up the other day and dropped her--luckily on the carpet. Good times for the little siblings! I guess its the start of getting beat up.
Your blog is so cute. I am new to this blogging thing. Oh, but how I do love the unseen blogging world. Dr. Johnson is great, my kids have seen him a few times.
Hey - on the Blog List...I figured out that the bloggers that appear at the bottom with no time on them are our private friends...
That video was great. I can't believe those cheeks!!! At this rate, Owen is going to pass up Jonas on weight. Maybe I'll have to send you the 12 month stuff early ;)
I love that video of Owen and Benson!!! I am also glad to hear that everything went well at the doctor's office. When I have baby #2 I am coming to you for advice. :)
Wow he is growing so fast. They are so cute together. Isn't it fun having two close together??? We need to pick a day to scrapbook I want to start again.
You got some growing boys! They look so much alike.
Hey, I notice you have The Host on your book shelf. I just started (like I'm on page 20) and I'm not getting into it as much as I did her other books. Is it good?
Oh my gosh, Carrie! They are soo soo cute! I can't get over Benson and how he tries to push it just a little with Owen. I love them!
Love the cute healthy adorable little boys! Owen is growing so fast and how awesome he is sleeping so well! You are blessed!
