The Stats

We had 15 month check-ups this week and here are the latest stats......(drumroll please).....
For the first time since pretty much their birthweights-Carson weighs less than Emilynn!  I was shocked! 
Carson- 24 lb. 8 oz.  29 3/4 inches tall
Emilynn-24 lb. 11 oz. 31 3/4 inches tall

I knew she had him by two inches-I've been saying that for weeks.  :-)  I think our whole milk is really packing on the pounds.  They are both really solid actually, not too chunky really.  Emmy is getting a little belly, which is so cute.  Carson moved from always being in the 10th percentile on weight to the 50th.  That is the only percentile I remember.   They had a good check-up overall.  Emilynn did have an ear infection.  She had started running a fever the night before so I figured something was up.  Both babies are getting molars so they just don't feel all that great.  I didn't even get a hard time about the bottles, we are just going to try a bit harder to wean them off of them.  They actually like cups okay, but they make a HUGE mess.  They drink too much and then spit out the extra and get soaked.  I got some new ones to try so we'll see what happens. 
We are still rear-facing in the car.  I actually saw on the news where they are probably changing the recommendations to rear-facing until two years old for everyone.  I was glad to hear that. 

We have been loving this spring weather and staying outside for a few hours each evening.  The kids love to explore and play in the yard.  It's fun to watch them play and get excited over new stuff like dirt, rocks, sticks, the cat.  I know we'll be spending a lot of time outside this spring and summer and I'm excited!  Carson cries to go outside.  I'm really glad they enjoy it and with our sandbox and water table that we'll be setting up soon-I think they'll like it even more. 

Well, got some things to get done during nap.
