9 shots, 1 nasal mist and 1 oral vaccine later. . . .

we are home from the doctor. What an exhausting trip!

Both boys are doing great! The doctor was impressed with Joseph's reading and writing skills. Jacob showed off all his 6-month skills (sitting up, passing a toy from hand to hand) and his TWO pretty bottom teeth.

Then came the yucky party. Joseph was a trooper through his 5 shots and the nasal mist/flu vaccine. Fortunately for him, he doesn't have to get another round of shots for 3 more years.

Jacob received 1 oral vaccine and 4 shots.

Here are their stats:

Joseph:
weight: 40 lbs = 75th percentile
height: 41.4 inches = 75th percentile

Jacob:
weight: 20 lbs. 4 oz. = 80th percentile
height: 28.1 inches = 95th percentile
(for comparison - at 6 months Joseph weighed 19 lbs. 12 oz. and was 29" long)
