Big girls!

Our girls had their late 2 year well baby visit. We are always late on these things, I'm not sure why, I'll blame it on having multiples even though I think it has gotten so.much.easier since they were twinfants. All is well with our beautiful babes, stats are:

Matilda: height-34 1/2 inches, weight-25 lbs 3 oz
Poppy: height-36 1/2 inches, weight - 26 lbs 9 oz

Scott and I both swear they weight at least 30 lbs, but I guess we are wrong. I think they weighed 20 lbs at 11 months, so their growth has really really slowed down. But they continue to be average or super stars in their percentiles:

Matilda: 70th percentile for height, 43th percentile for weight.
Poppy: 97th percentile for height, 50th percentile for weight

Yes, we realize Poppy is a giant, she gets accused of being 3 all the time. In fact they both do but on occassion people think Poppy is 3 and Tilly is 2 and you should see their faces if we tell them they are twins. Gone are the days of the double snap n go when it was much more obvious.

For one of the last times probably, I got the "rock star" treatment walking through the pedi office waiting room which was pretty full, mostly of newborns. But all the parents looked up this time and I could hear whispers of "oh, look at the twins" "aren't they adorable". That is one thing alot of people don't tell you, is that even though twins are more common this day and age, you still feel like a bit of a rock star in public, people just can't get enough of them.

ps. just don't tell our pedi that we haven't done the blood draws ordered last March. We are hoping they have forgotten and we won't have to do blood draws until they are in college.
