9 Month Check Up

Today Debbie and I took the girls for their 9 month check up. Honestly it was a complete waste of time. I realize that with any other baby a 9 month check up is good so the doctor can monitor weight, eating habits, skills, etc., but for our babies it was a complete waste of time. Now I'm not complaining that they didn't need shots or have to have blood drawn today( this is at 12 month visit), but really all that was done today was weighing them and checking to make sure they were hitting mile stones. All this could have been done when I took them for their RSV shot in April. Oh well, I can see the light of our doctor appointments coming to a slow down!

On to the stats......

Carlee weighed 18 lbs 11 ozs and was 26 3/4 inches. Kalee weighed 18 lbs 13.5 ozs and was 26 1/2 inches. Both girls were in 50% for weight and 25% for height.

Both girls

-Sleep through the night. They go to bed around 10:30 and wake up around 7.

-Drink from sippy cups, no more bottles. They drink 8ozs in morning and at night. At noon and 5 they eat 3 jars of baby food between them and drink 4 ozs of milk at each feeding. We stay to that schedule...7, 12, 5, and 10.

-Wear 6-9 month clothes.

-Wear size 3 diapers.

-Their feet are tiny. They are just now able to wear size 1 shoe.

-Crawling or creeping along the floor as our doctor put it today. :)

-Babbling mainly still mamama. Jabbering alot but can't really make out anything else yet.

-Love toys. Kalee still likes to take all toys away from Carlee.

-Love bath time.

-Still no teeth for either.

-Kalee loves to jump in her jumper while Carlee is content to sit in hers and play with the toys.

-Love everyone as long as he/she is talking to them.

Sydney was a trooper once again. She said on the way over that Ms Kaye( the nurse) was going to be so happy to see her. And of course, she was.

To me the girls are looking completely different lately. For others, not so much even Jeffrey is having a hard time when he doesn't see them together.

We are so amazed at how far they have come from their tiny selves! No one could ever tell now that they were preemies coming 8 weeks early! We are so blessed and fortunate to have 4 healthy girls!
