We have big, growing babies!

Steven – 3lbs 9oz at birth
Weight: 19lbs 5oz (17th percentile, up from 12th percentile at 9 months)
Height: 29.5″ long (32nd percentile, up from 21st percentile at 9 months)

Sammy – 3lbs 14oz at birth
Weight: 20lbs 7oz (34th percentile, up from 23rd percentile at 9 months)
Height: 31″ (87th percentile, same as 9 months and 6 months)

Amaya – 3lbs 14oz at birth
Weight: 21lbs 12oz (77th percentile, up from 58th percentile at 9 months)
Height: 30″ (77th percentile, down from 78th percentile at 9 months, so we’ll call it a wash)

It was a big day on a few other fronts. First, we got our MMR vaccines today (plus chicken pox and Hep A). I’ve been waiting and waiting for this day. And, we had our first taste of peanut butter! I was very nervous about allergies so I gave them each a taste before we went into the doctor’s office. So far, so good!

We’re now in the process of ending their suckie use. (Pacifiers.) We went cold turkey with Amaya today and will do the same with Steven tomorrow. Sad, sad, sad. They’re so cute with their suckies and I feel like a mean, mean mom. But the time has come so we’re giving it a shot. After this transition, it’s bye bye bottles!

Yesterday, they all had early intervention evaluations. They’re doing great. Mostly meeting full term milestones with just a few exceptions. Amaya and Steven will get weekly services for verbal communication and Steven will get physical therapy, likely weekly, for gross motor. Sammy just gets a once/month visit for receptive communication but I think that’s mostly about his willfulness than any delays.

Way to go Steven, Sammy and Amaya! Next appointment is at 15 months.

See you Sunday! 🙂
