18 Months!

The girls are officially a year and a half. So crazy to think that I'll already be planning another birthday party in less than 6 months! Where have my babies gone!??

Ok, here are their stats from the pediatrician appointment today:

Caroline

weight - 20lbs even - less than 5%
length - 31 inches - 25-50%

Olivia

weight - 22lbs, 6.5oz - 20%
length - 32 3/8 inches - 50-75%

So even though Caroline (aka Pipsqueaker) is still not even on the charts for weight, our pediatrician still says that her growth curve is ok and not concerning at this time. She has continuously gained since birth, never lost or plateaued. She's just on her own growth chart, that little squirt. We were advised to continue giving her "good fats" in her diet and supplementing her whole milk with pediasure occassionally. It's wierd to know that even Olivia, who I always consider my little chunk munk, is only in the 20th percentile for weight. Both girls' heart murmurs were still detected today, but because they were diagnosed as having "functioning murmurs" this very well could be a lifelong thing for them that hopefully won't effect their everyday lives. The good news is that the girls are healthy, progressing well, very social and pretty vocal for their age. Dr. Ray was quite impressed with them showing off all their tricks at the appointment. We are definitely blessed!

Poor little munchkins had to get yet another shot,
so we decided to take them out for ice cream afterwards.
