18 month and 4 month stats

Luke and Alex were due for their check ups and crazy me made their appointments for the same time. The doctor said that Luke has progressed well since his last visit. He now weighs 23 pounds (40% percentile) and is 32 inches long (50th percentile). He has actually lost 2 pounds since January, but the doctor said that was normal.
The doctor was also pleased with Alex. She is up to 12 pounds (25% percentile) and 25 inches (50th percentile). She is eating well, rolling over, holding her head up, and laughing like she should be. She got two shots and boy have we paid for them all week. She ran a fever for almost two days, cranky for two days, and was not eating well (only 10 ozs within a 24 hr period). I called the doctor and she said to take her to Urgent Care if she did not take a bottle within 3 hours and final she ate. She is pretty much back to her old self now. Thank goodness.
I will leave you with a picture of Luke giving Alex a "big hug" or should I say crushing her.

I'm glad things went well, except for the shots. Glad Alex is eating now! Evan seems like a little cow compared to your Alex. Luke's smile is so precious!
