Kids' check up

The other day i took the kids in for their 4 month and 2 yr check up. Cam weighed 14lbs 13oz and was 28 inches long and was in the 25% for all of those and was in the 30% for his head size (but I cant remamber what that was. Alex weighed 27.6 lbs and was 38 inches tall and is also in the 25% for those things. They are both growing and getting so big!! Alex has an imagination now, and the stories he come up with are so funny! He is getting better at talking, and picks up on EVERYTHING you say!! It's a good thing we dont use profanity!! He can speak in full sentances now, even tho it's hard to pick up on all the words he says. He knows alot of his shapes and colors and tries to count but it usually comes out 1,2,3,5,7,9,10,7,6,7,8,9.......... he tries. He scan recognize some letters, he knows b and I guess thats it and everything is a b. He is interested in space, stars, and the moon. When he's old enough he needs a telascope!! He loves swimming, running, and just playing. He has tons of energy!!
Cam is such a sweet little boy!! He was sick for a couple days after he got his shots, poor thing!! He ran a fever and wouldn't let me put him down for two days. I hate when the kids dont feel good!! He loves big brother!! He wants so badly just to get up and run around with brother and he gets so frustrated when he cant!! He cant do anymore tricks than he could in the last post. No teeth yet, he doesn't say mama or dada yet, and no crawling yet, but I told him that he was never to become mobile, or grow up!! He is to stay a baby forever, but I remember telling Alex that too, but he didn't listen either!! I love my little boys!! They are so sweet!!

I dont think that I've ever done a big post for Alex, and I didn't have a blog when he was born. Even tho he's 2 1/2 now and I have another kid, it still seems like yesterday that I found out I was pregnant with him. It wasn't an " easy pregancy" and it seemed like it was even harder to get pregnant with him. Before I got Pregnant with Alex I had two miscairages. The first one I was almost 10 weeks along and the baby died due to lack of perjestrone that I was not producing. The second one was about 3 months after the first and I was only about 6 weeks along. It took me nine months to get pregnant again, then it was a "good" pregnancy. I had no complications until later on when i was diagnosed with gestational diabetes but I never let that bring me down. I was called the food nazzi by my dr because I was not going to have to give myself insalin shots, so I was on a very strict diet, but it payed off because Alex was born a beautiful 6lb 5oz 19 in baby with no complications (and I never had to give myself shots!!).

Alex has been spoiled rotten since the day he was born mostly because I never thought it would happen for me. He has for the most part always gotten everything he ever wanted and is a little bit of a monster because of it, but he's my little monster:) I love my little Rocket so much!! I can not believe how fast he's grown up!!! Sweet boy!!

P.S. Alex started walking at 11 months and i'm so... scared Cam will do the same, or even earlier...scary!!
