Matthew's Well Baby Visit

Matthew went to the doctor for his well baby visit last Friday. The doctor was impressed with the number of words he is saying and his ability to communicate what he wants. Matthew even blew his nose on command in the doctor's office! Here's the stats on Matthew at 16 months...

Weight: 20 lbs., 12 oz. (around the 5th percentile in weight)

Height: 31.5 inches (around the 50th percentile in height)

The doctor asked me if I was concerned about Matthew's weight. Are you kidding me? Have you seen my extremely skinny 4 year old? My kids seem to start out big at birth and then, well, you see what happens! I promise I do feed them and, believe it or not, Matthew eats all the time. In fact, Matthew out eats Tyler at most meals these days. I wish I could be in the 5th percentile for weight at 30 years old! It'll catch up with both of them eventually.

Here are pictures of both boys around 16 months for those of you who like to know if they look alike at this age. There are definitely some similarities between the two.
