15 Month Well Baby

Seems as though we are going to the ped's office quite a bit now days but this time it was a scheduled visit. I've been dying to find out how much our Gabi girl weighs. It was a good visit overall. We even got to ride in the elevator w/ our ped, Dr. Nguyen. We love her!

So, here are the kids stats. WARNING: Big & tall girls advisory!

Sofia ~ 24 lb 8 oz (, 75%), 32 3/4" (, 97%)
11.11 kg, 83.18 cm
Gabriella ~ 26 lb 2 oz (, 90%), 32 1/4" (90%)
11.85 kg, 81.92 cm
Ian ~ 21 lb 9 oz (, 15%), 31 1/2" (60%)
9.78 kg, 80 cm

Ian made a vast improvement since his 12 month well baby exam. He went from the 5% in weight to the 15%. We were very concerned that he wouldn't gain. The truth is he is my best eater. I think his metabolism is sky high. Dr. N seems to agree. Also, he still hasn't shaken that ear infection so now we are on some heavy duty stuff for 5 days, similar to a z-pac. Fine w/ me. That explains why he has been waking up in the middle of his nap for the past 3 days. Today he slept for 2.5 hrs along w/ his sisters!

Gabi is doing fantastically, talking quite a bit. Counting, yes...she is. Albeit not always starting from one but she does count. I'd say her vocabulary is over 20 words, easily, if not more. Do I sound like I'm bragging? Uh, yeah. I am. She also has a little lesion on the back of her thigh. It's been there since she was born but we are going to a dermatologist to get it checked out. If anything, to have a baseline in case it gets worse. I'm not really worried about it.

Sofi, well...she is our mover & shaker. She is completely advanced in gross motor skills. She may not be saying as much as Gabi but she makes up for it in movement. God, does she ever. I told Todd last night that she is going to be the one we are waiting up for in the middle of the night. Ug. I dread that day. As always, she is the healthiest of the crew. I swear, that 2 hrs of oxygen she had the day she was born has catapulted her forward in physical skills.

I managed to get the girls dressed up really cute today. They even kept a bow in their hair. I made them last night to match their outfits. I've got to tell you, I'm not one to put the girls in matching outfits but I do like to coordinate them. Thanks to Grandma Donna, they had these really cute outfits from Old Navy!
