15 Month Well Visit

The girls went for their 15 month well visit on Saturday (the18th) and things very went well overall.

They’re both staying on their growth curve for height and weight - Taylor is just about into the 50^th percentile for everything and Leah is still hovering in the 10-20^th percentile for weight and 50^th for height.

The doctor was very impressed (surprised even) with their language skills, comprehension and motor skills -they’re charting closer to 2 year old in those areas and for preemie multiples (who generally are expected to be behind) that’s a pretty big deal, so we’re very happy.

A couple of physical things came up, Taylor’s left hip is clicking a little and we have to get some x-rays done to check for hip dysplasia – we’ll keep an eye on it and address whatever needs to be addressed once the testing is completed (fingers crossed and prayers that it’s a ligament issue and not actually dysplasia). Leah’s left foot is turning in but should resolve itself (with some exercises) without a problem.

Here’s their stats:

Taylor
Height: 30.75”
Weight: 22lbs. 12oz.

Leah
Height: 31"
Weight: 20lbs. 12oz.

Summer Fun

Summer is here, and almost gone. Good weather is much too fleeting here in WNY.

The girls have certainly been making the most of the sunny days playing on the porch, digging in their sandbox and SWINGING!

My little adrenaline junkies love to swing. The higher the better in their world. Giggles and squeals bounce playfully around the backyard every time the get near their play set.

As their mom, the sound of their laughing makes me laugh out loud too. As fellow swing enthusiast/adrenaline junkie I find myself looking very forward to the days when we can hit the amusement park rides together.

However, since they're not going to meet the height requirements for the roller coaster just yet, I guess I'll just enjoy the giggles that come with them swinging over our heads (yes, I do mean that literally - I wasn't kidding about the adrenaline junkie part.)
