15 Months!

A quick update on the goobers:

We had our 15 month appointment on Friday, and all is still going and progressing well! I was very shocked to hear their weights, as I was SURE that they had both gotten to the 30 pound mark, or at least close to it.

Jacob is now 33 inches long (97th percentile) & 25 pounds even (60th percentile)

Caleb is now 32.25 inches long (85th percentile) & 25 pounds 12 ounces (70th percentile)

Basically they are very tall and a little on the thin side. Trust me, though, it's NOT because the kids don't eat! Meal times are highlights of their day, and they thoroughly enjoy almost everything that I have given them. At this point, their favorites include ham, sweet potatoes, creamed spinach, Double-Cheese and Veggie Macaroni, Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Shells, watermelon (Jacob - not as much for Caleb), hummus on toasted wheat pita bread, baked potatoes with chopped barbeque and all of the other fixins, and their Daddy's cinnamon/sugar toast (they were introduced to it when I was out of town - I had no part of that!!). Of course, they really eat anything though.

Anyway, so they have only gained a pound each since their one year appointment three months ago. What's even crazier is that these boys were both over 20 pounds at their 6 month appointment! I guess becoming mobile and getting off "Mommy milk" has really slimmed them down.

Speaking of "mobile," no, the boys still are not walking!! Our doctor is not worried for several reasons. Even though they were very developed and huge for twins, they were still 3 weeks "premature." Another thing is that they are SO BIG that they have trouble keeping their balance. Also, boys do tend to walk later than girls...

Nonetheless, I called to make an appointment with ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) to see if there is anything more that they can do to help them. Our thoughts? We're not too worried at this point, but will be concerned be in a couple more months. Well, it can take ECI up to a couple of months to see the boys, SO, if they are walking by the time their appointment rolls around, GREAT - I'll cancel it! If they are not walking, then we need to really do something by that point anyway! Hopefully the boys are just networking with "The Big Man" to test Mommy's patience! hehehe

Other than that all is going along well! They boys are down napping and I have a lot to get done, but I have more thoughts to put down later! (Hopefully sooner than later this time!! hahaha)
