Gettin' Mobile

We had the big four month visit to the doctor today. Corvin and Mazzie left the doctor's office with a sore leg each and I left with a sore arm - - they received their second round of vaccines and I received a Tdap vaccine. Since 2005, the CDC has been recommending the Tdap rather than the TD shot for adults (Tetanus, Diptheria, and Pertussis = Tdap) because infants often catch pertussis (whooping cough) from their caregivers. (I had my last tetanus shot about six years ago - - not the full ten years - - so my arm is a little extra sore right now.)

And drum roll please . . .

Here are their latest weights and measures:

Corvin
Height 25 1/4" 75th percentile (for boys)
Weight 13lbs 10oz 20th percentile (for boys)

Mazzie
Height 25" 80th percentile (for girls)
Weight 12lbs 10oz 40th percentile (for girls)

Looks like we still have two long and lean babies.

Onto another subject: mobility. Though they're not crawling, yet, Corvin and Mazzie are enjoying more freedom of movement all of the time. Just holding their heads up is a big deal that lends them each great views of the world.

Here they are beginning to get comfortable in the exersaucer that friends Beau and Storey (and Dylan) lent us. Thanks guys!
