Collin-in-a-box

I ordered some clothes for the kids and was surprised when Collin spent about an hour in the box they came in one afternoon. It still had all the clothes in it too, but he didn't mind. He was very pleased with himself.........

I gave him a really big haircut last week that is really changing his appearance......he's looking so much more like a boy to us and leaving those baby days behind. He's also looking a lot more like his big brother (but he sounds like Anna, especially his laugh). I think his big boy haircut looks really cute in this picture.

He even brought books and his cup into his box. It was pretty entertaining to watch!

The other two weren't so animated and fun this week. They ended up with double ear infections and not feeling well. (See Collin posing for the picture in the background for me? He did this on his own.....he's such a little cheeser these days!)

The boys had their check-ups this week (5 year and 15 month (even though he's really 16 months)). Other than the ear infections, they are both very healthy and we are very thankful to hear so!! Benjamin is 40 pounds (50th percentile) and 44 inches (75th percentile). Collin is 26 pounds and 3 ounces (70th percentile), his head was in the 60th percentile, and his length.....well he continues to be CRAZY long: he's 34 1/2 inches long which is even more off the growth chart than his last check-up. His doctor said, "Wow you are going to be a tall boy, aren't you! Let's hope you don't pass up your brother anytime soon." We hope that too!
