It seems cruel to celebrate kids' birthdays and other milestones by poking them with needles. Grace turned two on Tuesday, then went to the doctor on Wednesday for two shots. Miles celebrated his fourth month by getting two shots as well. What sort of associations will these poor children have with birthdays?
The fun part of their checkups is finding out how much they've grown. Wow, have they grown. Here are the latest stats:
Grace
37 1/2 inches tall (3 foot 1 1/2)
27 1/2 pounds
Miles
28 inches tall (2 foot 4)
22 1/2 pounds
We'd just like to point out, so that you can sympathize with us and our aching backs, that Miles is only five pounds lighter than Grace. They wear the same size diapers, for heavens' sake. We're sure he'll lose a little pudge once he starts crawling and getting more active, but for now he's above the 99th percentile for both weight and height (and so is Grace for height). Should we start funding an account now for the grocery bills we'll have when Miles is a teenager?
