18 Month Dr. Appointment


The girls 18 Month Dr's appointment went very well today. They each only had to get 1 shot, and neither one of them cried at all. It was as if nothing even happened. They are little troopers!

Kaylyn weighs 28lbs (95th percentile) and Kylee weighs 25lbs (90th percentile). They are both 34" tall and in the 97th-100th percentile for height (on the actual age charts), so they are going to be super tall!

Kaylyn's head has not grown since the last time they saw her, so she is finally growing into it! It is still between the 95th-100th percentile, but that is perfectly fine. It's back on the charts so that is good! I don't remember the actual numbers, but Kylee's head was in the 90th-95th percentile. So they both continue to have big heads, but I say it's just more room for all those brains!

Their pediatrician said that the typical 18 month old has between 10-20 words, and the girls each have over 60 and are starting to put small sentences together so they are way ahead there as well!

It was a great appointment and the Dr was very pleased with their progress! He could not believe that the girls were born at 28 weeks gestation, and not only are they caught up but they are both significantly advanced. I am so proud of them!!
