3 and .5 stats

Quin and Hazel had back to back Dr. visits last week. With the help of Gigi, H even got to sleep through Q's visit, which was very helpful. Both kids are doing great, here are their stats:
Quin:
WT: 29.2 lbs ~ 25%
HT: 35 1/2 " ~ 50%
BMI 16.3 ~ upper 50% (body mass)
Ha, so there goes my paranoia about the little guy being too small, he's just fine. No more whole milk, and butter & cream cheese on bagels for you little man!
And he drew a bit, chatted plenty (including proudly telling her about using the potty), and displayed his peppy personality for Dr. Reese. After telling her about Q being aggressive, she joked about how there have to be boys who back in the day would have gone out to hunt the lions, Q is just one of those boys. Phew, what great perspective!
Quin at the Bike in the Tree on Vashon, thinking I might take an annual pic here (someone remind me next year...)
And the little Miss Hazel:
WT: 15 lbs. 7.5 oz ~ 50%
HT: 26" ~ 75% (though she was totally unhappy about this measurement, so I'm not sure it's totally right)
HD: 43 cm ~ 75%
So, she's great too! Though she is not that into solid food yet (though Q is just starting to love feeding her carefully), she seems to be doing just dandy on Mama milk. Hmmm...wondering if she'll be taller than her bro someday?
Yikes, this year for Hazel is going by WAY TOO FAST! By the next Dr. visit she will probably be crawling, definately sitting up, eating more, talking more, and so on. These visits with our wonderful pediatrican always help me remember that most everything is a phase, my little ones are really quite healthy, and they will soon become those big teenagers I see galomphing into the office, yikes! Perspective, for sure.
