Growing Right Along

The boys had their annual well-visits this week at the pediatrician and I just realized how fortunate we've been healthwise this past year - to my knowledge, we've only seen the doctor twice since last year's checkups!  Once for a rash, once for a "breathing problem" that turned out to be Alex's habit plus a bit of drama.  We did manage to catch a few of the inevitable viruses that went around, but nothing too serious.  We are so blessed that the children have had such a healthy year.

Ben:
49" tall (65th percentile)
45 lbs (12th percentile)
BMI of 13 kg/m2 (less than the 5th percentile)

Alex:
43.5" tall (63rd percentile)
43 lbs (66th percentile)
BMI of 16 kg/m2 (55th percentile)

So no surprises there - Ben is still technically very underweight, but he continues to shoot up like a little weed.  Alex is right in the middle of the growth chart.  I hope we can have another healthy year and manage to stay out of the doctor's office until next summer!
