Gabe's a Big Boy and Jayce's Monkey!

Well, we finally had our 8 wk appointment today, 2 wks late, as Gabe is 10 wks today... I had called last week to be sure I had the right time for the appointment, and we were not even in the system, so we had to wait until today to get him checked out. Dr. Whitehead says he looks great and is very healthy! He weighed 13 lbs, 2.5 ozs and measured 24.5 inches! He is in the 90th percentile for weight and 95th for height... Wow! Jayce has never been more than the 50th for either, and usually is in the 25th... so he'd better be careful how he treats his little bro! Gabe might be able to beat him up real soon! Gabe had to get shots and did really well... I should not have looked, boy that was a long needle... but I was so proud of myself... I did just fine! With Jayce, I made Jay hold him and I left the room, these boys have really toughened me up apparently to have been able to handle that today! On a side note, taking a toddler and a newborn for a dr.'s appt. that lasts 2 hours, is not a good idea... While there, Jayce rearranged the chairs in the waiting room, locked the nurse and Dr. Whitehead out of the office, and dropped and ate 2 raisins off the floor... as I was nursing Gabe and could not reach him in time to stop him... oh my, I just had to pray over those raisins... The picture of Jayce sitting in the filthy parking lot is at the dr.'s office too... I asked him to squat down beside Gabe and this is what he did.

Jayce has an imaginary monkey friend who he has been talking about quite a bit these days... I am not sure how this came about... but he has told Jay about him on several occasions. Today, he acted like he was trying to climb the wall in the dr. office and told me he needed to climb up to get the monkey off the ceiling... and then he'll tell the monkey to go away, or tell him to get in the car to ride... it's quite funny!


One funny thing Jayce said this week... Jay was driving past the movie theater and as always, curious George asked "what's that daddy?" and Jay said that's the movie theater, and Jayce said, that's where the moo cows live? It would make sense... he's a funny little fella!
