A Great Check-Up

Will and Andrew both had checkups today. We went to a new doctor in West Point and it was a great experience. I was never really pleased with the doctors we have seen here in Starkville. They are very nice people, but it just wasn't a personality match for what I wanted for my kids' doctor. Here in Starkville, they are very laid back and at times, I would leave feeling like I didn't get all of the information that I needed. So, at the suggestion of a friend, we tried Dr. Watson in West Point, and he was exactly what I was looking for: very personable, seemed genuinely interested in me and my kids, and did not seem in a hurry at all. The nursing staff was also very friendly and helpful. We were all happy with the appointment.
The boys are doing exceptionally well. No shots today thankfully! They are both growing like weeds and meeting all the developmental milestones.
Will is 39 inches (95%) and weighs 34 lb(75%). The doctor said on paper he is physically a four year old. :)
Andrew is 29 1/4 inches (75%) and weighs 20 lb 14 oz (50%). This is almost exactly Will's size at 9 months.
We are very blessed with two healthy boys!!
And since I didn't write much about Andrew on his month-day post, here are a few fun facts about our youngest lil boy!
He is an eating machine. He loves rice cereal mixed with bananas or applesauce and he still loves avocado and green beans. He is scooting around like a champ and starting to rock on his hands and knees, but no actual crawling yet. He is pushing himself up into a seated position and he has 6 teeth. Wow! His favorite thing to do is chase Will around or chase balloons on the floor. He is getting to be a handful, but more and more fun at the same time! He still loves being held and prefers Mommy but any lap will do. :) Speaking of, he is pulling on me right now, so I must go!

Love your blog, Amy! I am glad you found a good doctor for your kids. Can't believe how big they are.

You are welcome to visit my blog. Like I said I do it in Russian for my mom. But there is a translate button in the top left corner. It does pretty bad job, but it's better than nothing. And you are welcome to ask me on Wednesday if you have any questions. I don't have that much writing usually in my posts.

Again it was fun to stop by.
