Back to Normal, One Year Check-Up and Our Day in DC...

After a long week of visitors and events, our life is finally back to normal, and we are exhausted. It was nice to see everyone, but even the boys seem glad that they are back on schedule. It is hard to imagine that in less than 11 weeks we will be a party of 5! I am feeling great and weighing less than I did even before I got pregnant with Payson. Five more babies and I'll be down to my goal weight....just kidding! I hope the upcoming weeks go by fast because we cannot wait to meet our baby girl.

Last Friday, I took Beckett for his one year check-up and shots at the pediatrician. He now weighs 22lbs.4oz.(66%) and is 31 inches(93%) long. In the past three months his height has jumped quite a bit. At every previous visit so far, he has measured only 1/4 of an inch taller than Payson did at the equivalent age, but this time he is 1 and 1/2 inches taller than Payson was. Payson hardly grew at all from 9 to 12 months, and at one year, he was 25lbs.11oz. and 29.5 inches long. It's funny that they are total opposites.

On Saturday, we decided to take the boys to the National Zoo, but when we got there the parking lots were full, and we weren't about to look for street parking. So, we ended up going to the aquarium across the street from Paul's work and then took the metro to the Capitol for a tour. Those are just a few of the places that we want to make sure we visit before we possibly leave Virginia. I am so glad our boys can just go with the flow because it ended up being a really long day.
