One Year Stats!

At each pediatrician visit, the Dr. fills out a form with each baby's stats and developmental goals.  It always has their age at the top and this one says "1 Year - Hoorah!".  And that is so true!  We made it! 

Owen
Weight - 21 lbs 2 oz (23%)
Height - 29.5 in(38%)

Olivia
Weight - 19 lbs 2 oz (17%)
Height - 28.5 in (29%)

It is so amazing to see that they have quadrupled their birth weights!  Olivia is still too small to move into her next car seat, so we'll work on packing on that last pound!

We are done with bottles, formula and baby food.  They eat what we eat (for the most part) and have really started to enjoy whole milk.  We go through 3 gallons of milk a week in our house, which I never thought was possible considering I don't really drink it!

Owen is cruising around furniture, and walking holding our hands.  He will stand on his own for a few seconds.  He is in constant motion.  His loves lights and ceiling fans, and points them out wherever we go.  Mimi taught him how to turn lights on and off and he loves it!  Since he loves lights, his favorite birthday present is probably his glow worm.  And all of the cars.  He pushes cars around constantly.  Owen has 2 top teeth and 2 bottom teeth, and the doctor mentioned 2 more top on the way. 

Olivia is starting to take more risks.  She does pull up, but doesn't quite cruise around like Owen.  She loves to crawl over and under things, especially her new birthday chair.  She crawls in and out and then dives off the front and starts all over.  Thank goodness, she has yet to get hurt! She loves milk even more than Owen, and will sit and drink an entire cup just like it's a bottle.  She is still the shy one, but is doing better with others.  She cries almost every day when I get home, and I think it's because she realizes that I was gone all morning.  Olivia has 2 top teeth. 

They are still taking 2 naps a day, and have gotten into a pretty good routine.  They sleep around 12 hours per night.  I would say they both sleep through the night 50% of the time.  The other 50%, at least one wakes up.  Since there are no bottles to tempt us with, we have been letting them fuss a little more when they wake up at night.  I always blame teething!

It's amazing that they aren't really babies anymore, but toddlers!  I saw a Mom at the doctor's office today, by herself, with little bitty boy/girl twins.  It seems like just yesterday they were that little!  I did tell her that it gets easier!

Off to work, assist 2 babies who just got 3 shots each, and take care of a sick husband.  Hope the rest of the day is calm and quiet, but I doubt it!
