Check-ups and Smiles!

Is there anything as sweet as these pictures? Grace loves to dress up in a "Pincess dress". She loves the tiara, and has little glass slippers. Some times (understatement...) she likes to act like a princess and is extremely particular and bossy. My sister has started calling her Cinderella.


Could this child be any cuter? Max has the biggest brown eyes, and reminds me of my dad and my brothers.

We took the kids for well checks and shots yesterday Grace weighs in at just under 24lbs (fully dressed) and was right at 25 percentile for both height and weight. She is doing all the things a two years old should be doing and got an A+ for her speaking skills.... Max weighs in at just over 22 lbs (dressed) and was 75 percentile for weight and 95 percentile for height. Which explains why my 9 month old is in 18 month clothes.

Funnies from the checkups - Grace insisted on wearing her Santa hat and Frosty the snowman jacket that lights up. So she was an instant hit with the nurses and receptionist. She kept saying she wanted to see the doctor for a check-up.

Dr. Hibbard asked if Max was a good eater, and I told her he is if it is something he likes, and I proceeded to tell her he won't eat peas or beans, or chicken & rice, turkey & rice, chicken noodle etc. I said he loves carrots, sweet potatoes, squash and the doctor chuckled, she said my baby has a sweet tooth. (hmm, where could he get that from?) I also said the only meat he would eat was apples & chicken or pineapple glazed ham, pretty much confirming the sweet tooth. (I mean, I never touch sweets so I have no idea why Max would be that way!)

After the shots both my kids were blood curdling screaming and the nurses brought in balloons, Max immediately stopped, not to cry again for the rest of the night. Grace was not to be won over, and cried the whole way home. She cried until we got her a happy meal with her very own Sprite. They both slept great and this had to be the easiest round of shots yet! Yeah!!!
