James and Patrick's 18-month birthdays and checkups: August 2, 2010

excited to be facing forward in the van!

I took James and Patrick to see Dr. Patterson, our pediatrician, on Monday for their 18-month checkups. (August 2 also happened to be their 18-month birthdays!) Dr. Patterson was really happy with their development and growth. They're small, but they are continuing on the same curve on their growth charts.

James
height: 32.25 inches (50th percentile)
weight: 22 pounds (less than 10th percentile)
head circumference: 19 inches (75th percentile)

Patrick
height: 32.75 inches (60th percentile)
weight: 23 pounds, 1 ounces (10th percentile)
head circumference: 19.5 inches (80th percentile)

We turned their carseats and they are now facing forward which they think is really cool! We will continue supplementing with formula so they can get extra calories. We feed them constantly but they are also constantly on the go!
