Well-baby checks

We had doctor check-ups for both kids today. 18 month visit for Gracie, of which she is actually 20 months old right now, and 2 month check for Zachariah.

Her are the stats for both:

Gracie:
WT: 22lbs 8 oz --- 15 percentile
HT: 32 in --- 39 percentile

Zach:
WT: 13 lbs 12 oz --- 91 percentile
HT: 24 in --- 86 percentile

Just to compare Zach to Gracie -at her 2 mo check up she was:
WT: 10 lbs 12 oz (50 percentile)
HT: 23 1/2 in (80 percentile)

They both got shots too... poor babies of mine. They cry so hard when those nasty nurses come in with those terrible needles. Gracie goes "owiee" and holds her thigh on the way out of the clinic. Fortunately I think she has already forgotten about it and Zach is sleeping right now, so hopefully they don't bother him to much tonight or tomorrow. They check out to be a healthy baby and toddler.

Giggle Giggle

Zach has started to giggle! It is so cute. Marty can get him going the best and I caught a little bit of it on the video below.

Another New Nephew

We welcomed another Nephew, Sebastien, to our family on November 18th. This is Marty's sister Debbie's baby. He weighed 6 lbs 15oz (I think, or something around there). I wanted to get these pictures up right after I took them, which was a week and a half ago, but time again has slipped away. In these pictures Sebastien is 1 week old, Zach is 8 weeks old, and Gracie just about 20 months old. Zach looks like a Moose compared to Sebastien. As you can see in the bottom picture Zach has started to smile and we even got a giggle out of him the other day! It is so precious. He is growing up sooo fast already! I think he is going to outgrow Gracie by spring time.

So we are finally to the conclusion of our baby additions to the families this year:
June - My sister Christy's baby Kate
August - My sister Shelly's baby Joe
October - Our baby Zach
Novemeber - Marty's sister Debbie's baby Sebastien
It has been quite the year. Hopefully next year won't be as eventful.
