Doctor time!

Wesley and Jonathen both had a doctors appointment today.  Jonathen was going in for his 2 month well baby check up and for immunizations.  Wesley had his 2 year well baby check up.  Jonathen is, of course, growing extremely well.  He is 13 lbs 13 oz (90th percentile) and 25 1/2" (off the chart) with a head circumference of 16" (50th percentile).  Margarita, Dr. Graham's nurse, measured Jon and had to ask if my husband was tall.  When Jon's height was off the charts she couldn't believe it since I am average height for a female.  So in other words my child is proportianate, but extremely tall.  He is amazing to watch.  He has started smiling and laughing at things.  We were able to catch this beautiful smile when he was laughing at Mommy.  I am apparently hysterical.  He holds his head up really well and will follow you with his eyes.  He is a great baby.  He does not get upset very easy and prefers not to take a pacifier.  He will, in fact, throw a fit if you try to have him use the pacifier when he feels he doesn't need it.
Wesley on the other hand is weighing in at a whole 27 lbs (25th percentile) and 36 inches (75th percentile) with a head circuference of 19" (50th percentile).  He has lost some weight since his last doctors appointment, but he also lost a larger coat so maybe he is just the same as he was then.  Wesley does not like the doctor's office.  He got upset the second we put him up on the table for Margarita to measure him.  He kept telling Dr. Graham, "No, I don't like that."  Dr. Graham was very impressed with Wesley and felt he will be really bored in kindergarten.  Wesley was showing off a little bit and the nurses were encouraging him.  They got him to tell the what color things were and to count for them.  Then Dr. Graham saw that Wes was potty trained.  Dr. Graham said that Wesley showing interest at 18 months is the earliest he has ever seen a boy show interest.  He has seen a girl potty train at 13 months though.  Wesley has taken to wearing hats lately and loves to get his picture taken.  If everything continues as it is going Jonathen will most definently be taller than Wesley.  I love my little boys and it is great to watch them grow.
