One Year Pediatrician Visit

This past week, we saw our pediatrician for our one year check-up.  We haven't been there in several months (knock on wood that we continue to be infrequent visitors!) and they were all shocked to see how big they were and how much they are doing!  Andrew weighed in at 20 pounds, 11 ounces and was 29 inches tall.  Paige weighed 19 pounds, 9 ounces and was 29.5 inches tall.  For the first time, they plotted very easily on the 12 month chart!  They told us at the very beginning that we should be caught up by 18 months....this didn't seem possible for a while, but now it really does.  The next six months should be a lot of fun:)

The visit included four shots for each of them, which they were none too happy about.  Paige did fine with them but Andrew ran a fever the next day, slept a bunch, and was super cranky and wanted to be held all the time.  He was fine by the second day though.

They are both really starting to understand what we are telling them and are beginning to follow directions...if they feel like it:) They love to throw their hands in the air to tell you they are "SO big!" and they think giving high fives is hysterical!  We are really enjoying this age and are amazed at how each day they seem to do more and more.

And giving them lots of "kisses!"  Poor baby doll looks like she's getting mouth-to-mouth:)

They sure are keeping us busy but they couldn't make our lives any better:)
