Milestones

The boys had their 5 year and 18 month check up a week or so ago, and they are right on schedule!  It was timed perfectly to also serve as an ear recheck for both of them.  The week before their appointments, both boys came down with high fevers...off to the doctor to find out they both had double ear infections.  Fast forward to their check ups and both boys were infection clear!  So, here's the stats:

Ben:
Weight - 47 lbs (83%)
Height - 42.4" (35%)

Kyran:
Weight - 26 lb 12.8 oz (83%)
Height - 35.04" (95%)

Poor Ben needs to hit a growth spurt soon.  I'm afraid he may have inherited some of his height from Andy's side of the family, but maybe my side's genes will kick in and give him a boost.  Of course, no matter how tall or short he is, he's as perfect as can be!  Kyran seems to be right on track, so we'll see if he continues to grow at this rate.  He is definitely taller than Ben was at this age, but not by much, so it remains to be seen if he'll keep going or slow down a bit. 

Both boys are absolutely perfect in every possible way, and the doctor had no concerns.  She did say that Kyran is most likely going to need tubes for his ear infections.  She did not think there has been any damage done, but he just has such a tendency to get them that she anticipates another rough fall and winter.  So, let the consultations begin!  Thankfully, my sister has been through this more than a couple times with her girls, so we have a great resource right in the family.
