Getting BIG!

Dustin is 8 months old now, and he has really grown!

On November 7th (daddy's birthday) Dustin, and Parker both had doctor appointments. Dustin weighed all but 24 pounds, and was 29 inches tall! Dustin is measuring in the 75th% for babies his age, and 90th% for weight. I know Dustin is a chunky little monkey! I also know, once Dustin starts walking he will shed the baby fat. Bradley & Parker both didn't stay chunky for long. Once they were moving all over the place their baby fat disappeared.

Dustin does army crawl all over the place now. Where ever I go, Dustin is right behind me. I feel like I'm always tripping over him. My little Dustin is by far my most needy baby boy. Dustin hates being by himself, and always wants to be with mommy. I love Dustin's personality though. Dustin is always happy (unless he's by himself). All I have to do is smile at Dusty, and he will smile back at me. When ever I come to pick him up, he gets so excited. And, I love when daddy gets home, and Dustin starts bouncing up and down with excitement to see daddy.

Dustin will also dance now. When Bradley and Parker listen to their CD's Dustin bounces to the music and rocks. It is so adorable to watch. Another new thing Dustin can do is stand. Dustin, stands with assistance, or by holding onto something. He loves to stand and bounce, and is so proud of himself!

Parker, also saw the doctor, and has grown as well! I was very surprised to find out Parker has grown so much that he is now in the 50th% for kids his age! Parker was once in the 5th% right above Bradley who was in the 3rd%. Now Parker is 35 inches tall and 29lbs. Last time Bradley was measured he was 37 inches. Bradley has risen to the 10th% last time he visited his endocrinologist. So, all my boys seem to be growing good now. For a long period of the time, the doctors were pretty concerned about how slowly Bradley and Parker were growing.
As for the boys heads, Parker's head is still off the chart, but hasn't worsened. Dustin's head, which was once normal size, has shot off the chart! We will be visiting our neurosurgeon soon to see what's going on. Bradley and Parker will also be going for their follow up visit. They are all supposed to go every 6 months but we are behind.

Here is a picture of Bradley wearing his fireman hat, And Parker driving his car!
