We just had the boy's 2 year check ups yesterday (I know we are running about 2 months behind). It is hard to believe that we have had them in our lives for 26 months. We already have so many good memories and new traditions that have come from them. It is hard to remember what life was without them.
Anyway, for the specific updates:
Cooper:
36 1/4" tall (in the 90%)
35 pounds (off the charts)
21" circumference head (by the way that means that he wears bicycle helmets that were meant for 5 year olds)
Carson:
36 1/4" tall (in the 90%)
34 pounds (off the charts)
20" circumference head (ditto on the helmet thing)
Although the boys look so different and have completely different body types, they are still "neck in neck" when it comes to the stats. Chris and I both thought there would be a big weight difference between the 2, but Gaga Linda was the one that was right with only 1 pound difference.
As usual, the doctor is so amazed at how they came into this world as premies being 6 weeks early and are where they are at now. All 3 of us agreed at the appointment that God was doing me a big favor by have Carson's water break 6 weeks early. We can only imagine how big they would have been if they had gone full term.
An extra bit of knowledge we picked up is that they usually double a child's height at 2 years and that is how tall they will be as an adult. So, it looks like they are getting their height from their dad (good thing).
The doctor said the visit would go in her record books for the best 2 year old check up she has ever done. There was nothing wrong with either boy, no fits or tears during the entire visit and Carson decided he would flirt with Dr. Edwards. Just a reminder at how blessed we are with our 2 boys.

Looks like, from the measurements given, that they got their pumpkin head attributes from their Uncle Scott. Ha! No standard sized baseball caps for these guys. I guess they have to have big heads to house big brains.
