Both Paul and Ben had check ups earlier this month at the doctor's office. Paul had his 2 year check up and Ben had his 4 months check up.
Ben is a big guy. He's topping the chart on his height (27", 96%), pushing 17 lbs (16 lbs, 12 oz), and has a nice large head (17.25", 80%). He has been rolling over and is just starting to sit up with the support of his arms.
Paul is still tall (~3 ft.) and slender (27 lbs), and it seems that his head has continued to grow quite a bit (20", 97%). The doctor joked that if Paul plays football when he's older, he will have to custom order a helmet to fit his large head :) Paul's speech has really taken off lately. His "sentences" are getting longer and more meaningful.
Both boys received a good report with no major concerns. We are so lucky to have such sweet, healthy boys. Ben was fussy for a few days after receiving his vaccinations. Paul stepped up and went out of his way to help keep Ben happy. When Paul would hear Ben fussing, he would run to his aide offering kisses or toys, or both. Ben is fascinated with his older brother and loves the attention that Paul has been giving him lately. Paul is pretty good to share his toys and space with Ben, but does get frustrated from time to time when Ben continually grabs his arm, clothing or hair (whatever he can reach). It is so fun to see them interacting more and more and we can't wait until Ben is old enough to really start to play with Paul.
