Growing Fast...

The girls had a well child check a couple of weeks ago. I know they grow fast, but man, it sure is almost unbelievable!

And I can't get over how Brooke & Lorelei don't really look alike, but in terms of physical growth, they are identical! They both weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces when they were born. At each stage Lorelei has been within a few ounces of where her big sister was at that point. And her 18 month check up was no exception. It will be interesting to see if the trend continues, as between 18 months and 2 years, Brooke had a big growth spurt.

The statistical info from the doctor's visit...Lorelei is 22 pounds, 8 ounces & 31 inches long. Her weight is at the 20th percentile and height about the 23rd. Our little peanut #2! Brooke, who sprouted into the 40th percentiles at age 2...grew beyond my expectations. She is 33 1/2 pounds, and 38 inches, both right about the 70th percentile! What happened to our first peanut!! I knew she was getting tall...but wow! So, again, it will be interested to see if Lorelei starts taking off now too!

April 2008 & Now

The pediatrician says they are perfectly healthy both physically & developmentally. Brooke even knew she was girl when they asked...not that she shouldn't but I know I never specifically talked about it with her. And Lorelei talks so much it blows me away since Brooke only ever said the minimum amount of words until she turned 2.

September 2008 & Now

All is well...and I can't be more thrilled.

As for the rest our lives, we can't complain. Nothing really new here. We got our tax return in only 6 days, so that was awesome! (And we sure needed it!).

Today is Valentine's day - so Happy Day to all! My valentine made the awesomest (most awesome?) tomatillo mango salsa & is making up a heart shaped pizza as I type this! Lorelei is helping and Brooke is taking a nap (which is nearly a small miracle lately!). So, for now I will go, an share more news with you as it comes!
