Weigh In

IMG_1548a

So, I've been admonished for my grumpy attitude in my last post. Especially for saying Colin is stupid. So, I apologize. Colin isn't stupid, just sometimes inconsiderate with his virus spreading.

Moving on, my post is about our joint well-baby/toddler visit from a couple weeks back that we forgot to post about.

Aside from the RSV stuff, we're both doing very well. Colin hasn't even had any asthma problems despite the respiratory illness and the bad air we had a few weeks ago.

Anyway, for those keeping track, here are our latest stats. And note the Reece vs. Colin @ 2 month comparison. What a runt.

Colin @ 2 years    
    Percentile
Height 35 inches 75%
Weight 23.5 lbs. 5%
     
Reece @ 2 months    
Height 22.75 inches 50%
Weight 11 lb 3 oz 40%
Head Circ. 15-5/8 in 40%
     
Colin @ 2 months    
Height 22.5 inches 35%
Weight 10 lb. 12 oz. 20%
Head Circ. 15-3/5 in. 40%

Respiratory Syncytial Virus

I've received a lot of calls and e-mails lately asking why I haven't been blogging. Well, I'm sick. So give me a break. 

Stupid Colin gave me RSV. Luckily it hasn't meant a trip to the hospital. But the congestion and deep cough have been very annoying.

Now, however, I've passed it along to my dad. Heh, heh, sucker.

I'll resume my regular posting when I feel like it. So there.

Happy V-tine's Day

Since it's Valentine's Day weekend, here's my way of showing you that I love you: an actual blog post.

Obviously the entire family has been delinquent in updating the blog. We make no excuses, just empty assurances that it won't happen again.

Here are a few of the activities of the past weeks:

Chuck E. Cheese's

My friend Zach had his birthday party at the ol' Chuckster's place a couple of weeks ago. It was wild. I couldn't get enough of the pop-a-shot basketball game, skee-ball, and some NFL quarterback challenge. Basically if it involved hurtling balls at some sort of round receptacle, dad had to drag me away screaming.

Dad didn't bring a camera to the festivities, but here's some photo-cop evidence of me leaving the scene.

Kangaroo Zoo

As part of my month-long birthday celebration, a few weeks ago I met my similarly early-year birthdayed friends Milo and Jack at Kangaroo Zoo. It's basically a giant room filled with a variety of inflatable slides and bouncing corrals.

I was a little wary at first, so I started off with the small stuff.

But, after awhile, not even the stampeding eight-year-olds could deter me from the larger slides.

Of course, we replenished ourselves with pizza and Capri Sun.

I've also worked in a couple of trips to Discovery Gateway and other events since my last post. But, I'm not sure you all can handle that much excitement after such a long delay.

Hopefully it won't take another semi-major Hallmark holiday to get me to post again. But, I'll just leave it with a "See You Soon."
