Time for your checkup

November 16, 2018

I took both boys for their annual checkup yesterday and got confirmation that I have two strong, healthy, growing boys! Boys who unknowingly dressed like twinkies yesterday!  🙂

Maxwell is 50 inches tall (75th %) and 52.4 lbs (75th %). He’s a steadily growing! He’s always been right in that 50th – 75th % range but Dr. Walley said with this last growth spurt he’s pushed squarely into the 75th % range which is great! Hopefully he’ll continue on that trajectory. He grew 2.75 inches since last year and gained 5.4 lbs lbs. Good stuff!

Spencer is 46 inches tall and weighs 49.4 lbs (both 75th to 95th %). Again, he’s always been in that % and is growing just as he should!  Since last year he has has grown 2.75 inches and gained just over 5.8 lbs. Strong and steady!

For comparison, Maxwell at 6 was 45 and 1/4 inches tall (50-74th%) and 40.4 lbs (50th%). They could not be more different!  🙂

It was an easy visit with only a flu shot. We’re going to try and start weaning Spencer off of his Singulair and inhaler once winter hits. I would love for him not have to take daily meds.

And, because I like to do things like this, here are their yearly photos with Dr. Walley!

Day off

November 12, 2018

It’s a cold and rainy Monday but these three sillies have the day off so it’s not too bad!

Love having them all home together…for a little while at least!  🙂

Jail break

November 8, 2018

The scouts had a meeting on Sunday and got to tour the local jail.

Maxwell thought it was pretty cool – especially getting handcuffed!

Let’s hope that’s the last time he’s ever in handcuffs!!

Too fast

November 6, 2018

I’ve been going back through old photos to make some albums and it’s making me really miss these sweet baby boys…

Halloween!!

November 2, 2018

We made it through another Halloween with only a few tears and a few bruises but lots of lots of candy! The fun started bright and early when my 5:15am gym class got in the spirit!

Samantha thought my wig was pretty funny!

Pretty soon my crew was ready to scare away some ghosts for school!

They ain’t afraid of no ghosts! That afternoon I got to go up and help with Spencer’s class party.

Around 4:30 it was time to get costumes on and head out! Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Rapunzel reporting for Halloween duty!

It ended up being pretty warm that night and a little muggy. At least it wasn’t raining though! We started off with the neighbors for a little pre-party…

and then trick-or-treated up the street on the way to the main party. Samantha was having a little trouble keeping up with the big kids…

but then she found a friend and it worked out!

Spencer’s night started off better than expected when he got a KING size Kit Kat!

The party was fun and chaotic with bounce houses, the train, and lots of people. We then took off trick-or-treating and tried to stay together but Maxwell wanted to go off with his friends, Samantha wouldn’t go to a door by herself, and Spencer was trying to keep up with all of it. Unfortunately, in trying to keep up he tripped and fell and caught himself with his face on a driveway. OUCH. The screams were pretty loud and he was pretty pitiful. We were literally the furthest point we could have been from home so all we could do was start walking back. He didn’t trick-or-treat anymore but was doing a little better by the time we made it back to the house.

We might have had an injury but everyone had full baskets and all the candy they could want!

Despite Samantha’s face there I’d say it was a successful Halloween!
