18-month Check-Up

The girls had their 18-month check-up yesterday, which involved the usual poking, prodding, weighing, measuring, and injecting of medications. (Three vaccine shots and one flu shot per kid! The screaming! The gnashing of teeth!) The twins were declared to be doing "just great" (tell us something we don't already know) and will go back for their next check-up after their 2nd birthday.

The stats are as follows.

Evelyn:
Weight: 21.5 lbs
Height: 30.5"
10%-25% percentile

Sophia:
Weight: 21.75 lbs
Height: 30.5"
10%-25% percentile

Baby Steps

Sophia took what could be considered her first step yesterday. It was preceded by some wobbly standing and followed by a bit of a fall. That's par for the course, right? We imagine her sister will soon be quite jealous of Sophia's new skill and will be working on her own independent steps. These girls might be running by Christmas.

La-Z-Girls

The girls love their new chairs, although not necessarily for sitting. But who needs chairs when bookshelves make such good seating?
