The girls had their 16 month visit with Dr. Knott today and all of the shots that go with - yuck!
Sophia is 21lb 14oz (25% in weight), 30.5" tall (50% in height), and her head is 48.1cm (95%!!). He is very happy with her size. She is right on track with the walking, crawling up and down stairs and eating, and maybe a little behind with speech but it is hard to tell this early. He said lots of kids start talking very quickly once they get going. If she's anything like her mommy she will be a chatterbox in no time! She is also starting to get her canine teeth in - so very soon she will have 16 teeth - I love how when she smiles you just see a big mouthfull of teeth!
Isabella seems to have shrunk since the 12 month visit however, she weighs 19lb 11oz (5% in weight), 29 3/4" tall (25% in height) but her head is 47.3cm (90%!!). He wants us to try to plump her up a little bit since she is a bit of a skinny mini these days. No joke, the Dr. really did order her to eat more ice cream (why can't he be my Dr?!?) and fatty foods. So for dinner we are feeding her cheetos and a peanut butter parfait (just kidding!). He was very impressed with how quickly she learned to crawl and walk, and she is the same as Sophia with speech. She still has her 12 teeth - no signs of any more yet but it's been a few months so we are prepared for more soon.
The paper they gave us that outlines what the girls should be doing at this age states that they should be able to understand and follow directions and help with simple chores around the house - what?! I guess James and I are done doing dishes, laundry and mowing the lawn now that the girls are old enough!
