Growth Check ...project weight gain continues!

We went on Black Friday of all days to a pedi appointment for a growth check of the boys. Because of Synagis season, the boys have to be weighed every time they get their shots because the medicine is mixed specifically to their weight. Please see prior posts from last year freaking out about their weight gain or lack thereof between the months of Nov-April because of this very reason.

So our appointment went well, I won't post their height because I know it was wrong, they got Summy as being taller even though Jack is, and Summy still has a great big old monster melon, but what's new? However, Jack...

CROSSED OVER AND WEIGHS 20 POUNDS!

The child has literally NO buns whatsoever, he sits down and the floor cries because his bones are poking it, but I digress. He weighs 20 pounds people! I am so stinkin' happy! He actually pooped tonight and I told David he's probably back under, but I had a few moments to bask in the glory...

Summy weighed 21 lbs 15 oz.

She was VERY happy with their weight...even though they are both below the chart on weight, (Summy is soooo close!) they are both following a lovely curve, which is the important part.

Jack's ear infection wasn't any better, so we were on to antibiotics, round 2.

I know how you feel about weight gain... Maggie only weighed 15lbs13oz at their one year appt. The Dr wasn't worried though. That's great that Jack is over 20 pounds!! I hope he's feeling better... BTW I love the pictures with the lights!! I got a couple of Charlotte and Maggie with lights. Of coarse they tried to eat them...
