Nine Pound Spread

Cal and Teagan went into the doctor for their 2-year check-up last week. Well-child visits are always fun because we love our pediatrician. She lives in our neighborhood and has 3 young kids also, so she totally understands our lives. As much as we like going to visit and check up with her, going into the doctor with twins is always a LONG experience. Each twin gets one half hour of time, so we are in a 6x6ft room for 1 HOUR with very little entertainment except for a chalk board and books. After an hour of dressing and redressing, weighing, measuring, poking and prodding of each child I was exhausted. When we left everyone was covered in chalk from head to toe and screaming from their shots. Next time I'm not doing that alone!

Here are the official stats:

Cal: 32.8 lbs (92%) and 37" tall (96%)
Although Cal is in the 95% overall, his height and weight are proportionate and his BMI (Body Mass Index) is perfectly healthy. He's just big, and actually the average size for a 3 year old.

Teagan: 23.13 lbs (7%) and 33.5" tall (36%)
Not a surprise to hear that Teagan is skinny and on the smaller side for her age. She's very healthy and nothing to worry about.

It would just be easier if they were the same size so we wouldn't have to hassle with 2 different size diapers. Cal is busting out of Size 5 and Teagan has plenty of room in Size 4.

Maybe potty training will happen soon...

Spring Already?

The snow is melting! Raining and 50 degrees every day of March... does this mean Spring is here?

We've had a lot of fun playing outside the past couple weeks. The sidewalks are clear of snow and ice, so we've been going on walks and even biking and running around the lakes.


It doesn't even matter if we happen to get more snow again this month, the past couple weeks have been a wonderful break from winter.
