The babies had their 9 month pediatrician visit today. How did they get to be 9 months old already??? And more importantly, how is it less than 3 months till their first birthday???
Everyone is relatively healthy. Poor Abby has another bad diaper rash, Lucas has been congested since after Thanksgiving, and Zoey has a goopy eye. But otherwise they're doing great.
Abigail:
3/25/10 Birth - 5 pounds 3 ounces; 18.5" long; 13" head circumference
2 weeks old - 5 pounds 4 ounces
4/29/10 One month old - 6 pounds 13 ounces; 18.5" long; 13.5" head circumference
6/3/10 Two months old - 9 pounds 8 ounces; 21.5" long; 14.5 head circumference
8/12/10 Four months old - 12 pounds 6 ounces; 24" long; 15.75" head circumference
10/4/10 Six months old - 13 pounds 12 ounces; 25" tall; 16.25" head circumference
12/28/10 Nine months old - 15 pounds 12 ounces; 27" tall; 17.25" head circumference
Abby's weight is in the 5-10th percentile, while her height is still in the 50th. Guess she's just going to be long and lean.
Look who figured out how to crawl under the orange slide!
She got motivated when we put Zoey on the other side of it. :)
Lucas
3/25/10 Birth - 4 pounds 12 ounces; 18.25" long; 12.5" head circumference
2 weeks old - 5 pounds even
4/29/10 One month old - 6 pounds 14 ounces; 19.5" long; 13.5" head circumference
6/3/10 Two months old - 10 pounds even; 20.75" long; 15" head circumference
8/12/10 Four months old - 14 pounds 6 ounces; 24.5" long; 16.75" head circumference
10/4/10 Six months old - 16 pounds 11 ounces; 26.25" tall; 17.25" head circumference
12/28/10 Nine months old - 19 pounds even; 28.25" tall; 18" head circumference
Lucas remains at the 25th percentile for weight and 50th for height. I had guessed Lucas's weight to be 20 pounds, so I wasn't too far off. Since he is only 3/4 in. shorter than the maximum height for the infant carseat, I got his new convertible carseat installed today. I put him in it to adjust the straps, and he immediately smiled and did his "heh heh heh" laugh, as if he knew that he was going to be so much more comfortable from now on. I can't believe how he looks like such a big boy in it!
Zoey
3/25/10 Birth - 3 pounds 15 ounces; 16" long; 11.75" head circumference
2 weeks old - 4 pounds 2 ounces
4/29/10 One month old - 5 pounds 9 ounces; 17.75" long; 13.25" head circumference
6/3/10 Two months old - 7 pounds 13 ounces; 20" long; 14.25" head circumference
8/12/10 Four months old - 10 pounds 12 ounces; 22.25" long; 15.75" head circumference
10/4/10 Six months old - 12 pounds 10 ounces; 24.50" tall; 16.25" head circumference
12/28/10 Nine months old - 14 pounds 11 ounces; 27.50" tall; 17.25" head circumference
Zoey is still barely at the 5th percentile for weight, but she is making steady progress on her own curve. Her height is at the 50th percentile (although I think the nurse really stretched her - it's hard for me to believe that she is half an inch taller than Abby).
Zoey is starting to try to pull up to standing herself. She got motivated when Jason put a block at the top of the stairs to the orange slide.
Grandmas Di and Peg are here this week, so stay tuned for pictures of our Christmas celebration with them.
