Like Father Like Son...

Check out my two guys...aren't they too cute in their shirts that look alike! :) I love it that Jack is starting to wear little boy clothes now...


and don't forget Sadie...she didn't want Jack to have a picture with Daddy and she couldn't...I was just impressed they were both looking!

We went to the doctor today for Sadie and Jack's well baby check ups. Sadie for her 2 year and Jack for his 4 month.

Sadie weighed 26 pounds and is 33 inches tall...she is in the 50 percentile on height and weight I think...and she was healthy as can be!! Had a terrible time with her 3 shots...oh my, I am so thankful Clark was holding her, he said it was awful!! But nothing that a little dose of chocolate can't help and she was happy as a lark! :)
Jack weighed 17 pounds and is 25 inches long. Our boy is growing fast! He is 2 pounds ahead of Sadie at this age...I think he is in he 90 percentile in weight, 75th for height (not sure though!) and he was not too happy with his shots himself! Oh my...but my wonderful husband came through again and held him too! He get's the best daddy award for sure!!
One more thing though, Sadie has low iron...got any suggestions on things that you have fed your children that have had low iron?

Okay...I am off for the night...exhausted after a 2 day trip to the other city and in need of rest...

Have a great weekend!!

Cute pics larlar. Google raisins, it seems like they have iron and I'm pretty sure almonds are a good source. Double check me though.

I eat raisins to help out with low iron. Seems to make a difference for me.

Dark, leafy greens are very high in iron. If she won't eat them alone, you can "hide" them in lasagna, spaghetti sauce, basically any kind of casserole thingy.

In the states you can also get kids vitamins with added iron. DOn't know if you can get those where you are or not.

Of course, red meat is a good source of iron. So, ground beef (lean, of course) in your meals is good. Any kind of basic protein (meat, poultry, even milk has some) will be a good source as well.
