  Wow, can't believe the babies are getting so big!
  We went for the annual checkup on the 17th. I thought it would be a good idea to get both of them checked at the same time -- turned out not to be the wisest idea, since Dr. Rubin was trying to get details and give me info on two kids as they tried desparately to get our attention by destroying the office. No, it wasn't that bad, but a room smaller than Lucas' with lots of gadgets prooved to be too much for them and I left feeling like I had more questions for the doctor.
  Anyway, here are the stats:
  Lucas: 42 inches tall and about 38 pounds.
  Amanda: 35.5 inches tall and about 31.5 pounds
  They are both in the upper part of the height chart (Amanda at 90% and Luc at 75%). Amanda tips the scales in the 90% for weight and Luc comes in at 45% for weight.
  I asked doc if I should be concerned about Amanda's weight at all and she said no. Just don't offer her snacks other than at usual snack time and make sure we serve healthy meals, which I really try to do. Fast food probably sneaks in about once a week, a heck of a lot more than I had as a kid, but I was still a chunky little preschooler.
  
  Both kids have recovered from a short bout with a stomach bacteria -- yuck. But you know, kids are really easy with the stomach flu compared to adults. They really seem to just do their thing and then occasionally barf. Lucas and I got to calling each other "barf bag" because I told him how I used to spit up quite a bit as a baby. So, after he had a stomach eruption and we got him settled back in bed, he said, "goodnight, barf bag." I couldn't help myself but think it was so cute. I said "good night barf bag" to him. I know it isn't something that would go over in public, but he didn't mean any malice and we bonded over barf.
  Sorry if I grossed you out!
