Double Whammy...

Today, both of the boys went in for their check-ups. Poor guys, both of them had to get shots. Here are their stats:

Matthew Timothy Blood

3 1/2 years old

40 1/2 inches He's a tall kid!

35 pounds

James Edward Blood

9 1/2 months old

28 inches

19 pounds 11 ounces

James was actually a lot smaller than I thought he was.

Does this kid look small to you? Me neither.

Streptococcus... Whatacoccus?

Poor Matthew. He has strep throat. We went to the doctor to find out for sure and get a prescription. While at the doctor's office (2 hours), Matthew fell asleep on the bench in the exam room. I was trying my hardest to keep James happy, which normally is not too difficult. So we were playing with George the Banana. George has lots of squeaks and rattles, and makes a lot of noise. Matthew said, "Mom, do you know what really bugs me? When you make that banana squeak." Oops. I am often being scolded by my 3 year-old. I wish his cheeks had been rosy when I took this picture. Normally when he has a fever (he had 102) they are, and it is so cute. But I guess his medicine had already started to work. Hurry up and get better, Bud!
