The Boys checkups and Stats

We took the boys to the doctor today for their checkups.

Brayden was first and he had his 3 yr checkup. He weighed 33 pounds and is 37" tall. Both numbers are in the 50% on the growth chart. He is doing well for development and is doing everything he is supposed to be doing. Some memorable moments of his second year:
He started preschool last year, right after he turned 2.

He also helped us break the news of his new sibling on the way at our Thanksgiving dinner.

He sat on Santa's lap this year without crying. (this is his school holiday picture)

He moved into his big boy room in January. We made him a NASCAR room and he LOVES it!

He potty trained in May at the age of 32 months (2yrs 8 months for those non-mommy's)

Part of his potty training rewards was a train table, when he fully mastered both pee and poo in the potty.

And, finally, he sported a very cool mohawk for most of the year. We're currently debating cutting it off or letting him keep it. He also has a love for pancakes like Mommy.....

Grayson had his 2 month check up next, and he weighs 11 lbs 4 oz now (up from 7lbs 15oz at birth) and is 23 inches long (up from 20 inches at birth)! He is growing very well. He is also in the 50th% for both height and weight. His head is in the 95th% right now (16 3/4 inches), but it's also still a bit swollen, so the measurement wasn't the most accurate. (I say he has lots of brains up there) He had to get his first round of shots, and he did very well. I had to leave to go to the bathroom b/c I can't stand to hear him cry, so Daddy had to comfort him during that part. Grayson is starting to coo and talk to us, and he rolled over last week on his own from front to back. He has been smiling for a few weeks too, especially when Mommy talks to him. His head control is getting better each day too and he is reaching for objects in front of him.
Here are some pictures of his second month:

Yep, he is doing that......

Well, that's all that is new in our house this week.
