Both boys shared a check-up appointment today.
Joss enjoyed his weigh-in. He's gained nearly two pounds in the past three months, and grew an inch and a half taller. Uncorrected for gestational age, he's in the 10-20% for height and weight; corrected, he's in the 50-75%. Head circumference is still in the 90%.
Paul has also grown nicely this year. He's gained 5 pounds and grew 4 and a half inches. His language development is just fine. When the Dr. mentioned to the resident (who was observing the exams) how Paul has good flexibility in his forefeet, Paul piped up, "I only have TWO feet." Clever boy.
Both boys took their vaccination and flu-shots with surprising
stoicism, barely crying and recovering quickly. They were also awesome getting blood drawn for lead tests and, for Paul, platelets (his counts are great).
Paul developed fever and body aches this afternoon, most likely a reaction to the shots.
Joss seems symptomless so far, but he'll need a booster flu-shot next month.
