18 Month Check Up

Carlee and Kalee turned 18 months in December. As you can tell from the pictures they did not enjoy the visit to the doctor. Literally they started crying as soon as we walked through the doors after Ms. Kay called our names. Poor babies had to get 2 shots that day.... one was a basic vaccine and the other was their 2nd H1N1 vaccine. They will only have to receive 1 more shot at age 2 then poor babies will be finished with all these vaccines until the age of 4.

Carlee weighed 26 lbs 2.5 ozs and was 31 inches. Kalee weighed 25 lbs 14.5 ozs and was 31 1/4 inches. Carlee was in the 85% weight and 35 % for length. Kalee was in the 75 % for weight and 40% for length. Close as always in their weight and length...

Dr. Green said that both girls looked healthy and were doing great.

Carlee and Kalee both have 12 teeth and love to brush them still. They were size 4 diapers... so ready for the potty training stage! They wear size 18-24 months clothes and some 2T. They love to eat and will eat whatever you feed them... we don't have picky eaters! They still have very few words in their vocab but are beginning to babble and jabber more and more..... a few are... Uh Oh ( the new one these days), momma, dadda, bite, bye bye, hello. They sure can communicate without saying much though! They come get your finger and take you to what they want.... beat on the refrigerator if they want a drink, beat on the pantry if they want food, move the bar stools around if they want to sit in their chairs to eat, pat a chair if they want you to sit down. So funny...

Carlee and Kalee can also climb in big chairs now and can climb up stairs with us behind them making sure they don't fall. They love to run and race. Halle and Syd really enjoy telling them to run fast and watching them. They have also started mocking Halle and Syd doing gymnastics. They will run and go put their head on the ground like they are about to turn a flip but they haven't flipped on over yet. This is so cute to watch!!

Carlee and Kalee have also started stacking blocks. I was watching one this week playing with a set of blocks where she starts with a big block then you place smaller blocks inside. The biggest block is number 5 then it goes down to 1. She had placed the third block in before the fourth and was trying to get the fourth one in. Once she realized it didn't go she took the third block out then put the fourth in and completed it down to 1. Anyway I hope you get the point..... very smart I think!! ;)

The sweetest thing Carlee and Kalee are doing is that they make the sound when you give them hugs like they are really squeezing you tight. You all know the sound.....
These are just a few things we enjoy on a daily basis!! So much fun...

Halle and Syd also went with us that day.... They got their 2nd H1N1 mist vaccine. So far so good no sickness this winter!!! Everyone knock on wood now!! :)
