I might be figuring out my new flash. Maybe. This is the best picture I’ve taken with it so far, lighting-wise. Who knew a flash could be so confusing?
2.5 year stats
We took the boys to the pediatrician for their 2.5 year well child visit and here are their newest stats. (Not sure if it matters that we took them a month and a half late. Whoops!
Linus: 30.7 lbs (50th); 36.5″ tall (50-75th)
Oliver: 30.6 lbs (50th); 37″ tall (75th)
Miles: 29.9 lbs (25-50th); 36.6″ tall (50-75th)
So as usual, Linus and Oliver were almost the same, and Miles was our lil’ peanut. Funny how he just maintains that little difference in his weight, even now. At birth, Oliver and Linus were a few grams apart, and Miles was 7 oz lighter, and it seems like he’s still about the same number of ounces now (don’t make me do the math!) which means the gap is shrinking since they weigh about nine times more than they did at birth.
For the record, at their 2 year well visit, their stats were:
Linus: 28.5 lbs (50-75th); 34.1″ tall (25-50th); HC 50.5cm (90th)
Oliver: 28.9 lbs (50-75th); 34.3″ tall (25-50th); HC 50.5cm (90th)
Miles: 27.9 lbs (25-50th); 33.2″ tall (10-25th); HC 50cm (75-90th)
So it looks like they all gained about 2 lbs and 2.5 inches in the last seven months.
(I know…borrrrring! This is more for my own records.) (Since I never made a baby book.) (And let’s face it, I’m pretty sure it ain’t gonna happen now.)

Playing at the pediatrician’s office before their appointment. I’m not so sure I like that they are learning to undo all these locks and latches…

Being artsy-fartsy again. Looking at the boys in the little mirror in the van. Miles was waving at himself there. “HI MILESY!”

Ah well, one out of three ain’t bad…
(That’s Oliver, Linus, Miles)
Fun at the park
Yesterday, after feeding the boys dinner, we took them down the street to a big block party our neighborhood has every Wednesday during the summer. It was hot, hot, hot, but the boys had fun.
Blowing bubbles (Linus’s first face cracks me up.)

Miles wasn’t exactly the happiest of campers:

They dominated the slide like a little band of gangsters.

But this kid managed to outsmart them:

And yes, Oliver is wearing an Easter basket on his head. And yes, he wore it to the dentist too. Why not?
Awww, come on!
I got over a dozen comments on my last post, and only one was right (well, half-right). I’m shocked! I look at that kid, and it’s so obvious to me who it is.
Oliver!
A lot of you mentioned the teeth, but you should know that Oliver’s teeth are a lot less vampiric than Miles’s or Linus’s. To me, they look totally normal! Ha ha!
(Hey, can you give me a click real quick? Just click this, and then one more click on the next page, and that’s it!)

The boys had their first dental appointment today. They did very very well, but they were more interested in playing with their new toothbrushes and toothpaste than posing for a picture with Dr. Stan.

Can you guess who this angelic grin belongs to?
No, I’m serious. Can you? How well can you tell my boys apart?

They’re baaaaack! The stupid DVD cases. Damn, and I thought I’d hidden them all.
Sigh.

A video of the boys, being so unbelievably cute at Granny & Grandpa’s house.

Oliver has the remote, Miles is playing with the pop up toy, and Linus is doing acrobatics. And Miles counted to five! Without skipping three! So proud of my peanut. 😀
