WOW, does time fly or what! Lauren and Olivia are already 18 months old (actually 18 ½ months old now) and yesterday was their 18 month well child visit to Dr. Howard. The girls are still very tiny, but they are growing, so no concerns yet.

Lauren weighed in at a whopping 19 lbs. 13 ozs., which is technically not even on the charts. She’s just a little peanut! Olivia weighed in at 20 lbs. 13 ozs. (which is still pretty little), so that makes them exactly a pound different. And that’s about all that’s different about them (besides their personalities) because both their head’s measured 18 ½ inches and both their heights are 30 ½ inches. Olivia’s weight at least was on the chart at 7%. Both their heads are 75% and both their heights are 25%. We just have to work on both of them gaining some weight…so any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks for all the suggestions...especially you miss lindsey! I DO FEED MY CHILDREN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Barb, I appreciate your nice comments! :) They are very good eaters, and love all those things. I guess we should try more protein, that's the only suggestion our pediatrician had for us.

We would love you to come visit in the spring. Their birthday is March 17. You're more than welcome to come party with us! :)
