Riley is getting his tonsils out!

We went to the ENT yesterday and Riley has "impressive" tonsils. So, we have him scheduled for surgery on Valentine's Day. At first it didn't seem like the Dr. wanted to take them out because he's so young, but once he saw them, he decided it would be best as long as I could get him to drink a lot after the surgery. As long as we have chocolate milk, I don't think that'll be a problem.

While we were there, Riley & Hunter got weighed in. Riley was 42 pounds (the weight of an average 5 year old--30 lbs is normal for a 2 1/2 year old) and Hunter was 58 pounds (the weight of an average 8 year old--45 is normal for an almost 6 year old). They aren't fat, they are just SOLID! Riley is 39 inches tall, which is the height of an average 3 1/2 year old. The height predictor calculation is to take their height at 2 1/2 and double it. If that's true, he'd be 6' 6"! Even though they look like their daddy, there must be some Turner genes in there somewhere!!
