This morning, an half before the boys' doctor appointment Ashton fell backwards off of my bed and cracked his head on my cedar chest. I took him into the front room to wait for dad to come home and of course got blood everywhere, all over my face and hair and on the carpet. It stopped bleeding so we decided just to take him into the doctor for his appointment instead of the ER. He ended up needing two staples - which I had never seen done before - ouch! They don't numb it at all, they just shoved the staples right into his head! He cried and said "I don't like these people!" I told him he was being so tough and brave - he told me that he was NOT tough or brave. Afterward he had to get his flu shot booster...poor kid will never want to go to the doctor again.
In between all of this Colten had his wellness check up. He weighs 16.9 lbs and is 26" long. (Ashton weighed 17.6 lbs at 5 months and Aaron weighed 18 lbs at 6 months. I did not weigh 16 lbs until I was 14 months old!) He's in the 40th percentile for height and weight and 50th for his head...so I guess he doesn't have the Jackman head after all. He will however need a helmet for his flat head so we'll be getting that in December. I think he'll be happier since we won't constantly be rolling him over onto his stomach and trying to make him sleep on his side.Colten is rolling all over the place now. He's trying to scoot - so it won't be long before he's crawling. He's also eating baby food, the whole time I feed him he makes faces like he isn't sure if he likes it. I can't believe how fast it goes with #2!
My brother's wedding is this weekend so look for more pics on Sunday... I can't wait to see Ashton in his little tie!

I am going to send you a picture of my friends baby. They live in TX and he is a huge cowboys fan...they painted their sons helmet to look like a dallas football helmet. Check it out...
Poor Ashton, I don't like doctors either! Jace was playing on my bed when he was 2 or 3 and decided to play Superman or Batman and just fell back, missed the pillow and hit the headboard. It was really deep. He had to have stitches inside and out! I do not do well with the whole situation. I hate to see them hurt.
Oh my gosh I can't believe they didn't even numb it. That sounds horrible. Hopefully things quiet down at your house. I love the pics of the bros together how cute. I still havnt read the book of the month. You don't happen to have an extra copy do you?
Ella hates the doctor's office too, funny enough. I know she hasn't made the connection yet that that is where Daddy is all day. I wonder what will happen when she does! That's sad about Colten's helmet. . .Ella was close to needing one for a while, but we got lucky and she started sitting up early so it corrected itself. Anyway, we can't wait to see your big boys at Christmas time!
I wouldnt like the Dr.'s either! That is sad, I hope he is doing well though!
