9-Month Check-up

The doctor has given us a clean bill of health!  She said that you'd never know that we were 2 months early by how we are developing.  That's great news!  Here are our stats:

Elyse: 16 lbs 10 oz (25-50th percentile)
26 3/4 inches long (50th percentile)

Felicity: 16 lbs 13 oz (25-50th percentile)
27 1/4 inches long (75th percentile)

The doctor was very impressed that we can crawl and pull up on furniture and get wherever we want to go.  As you can see from our stats, Elyse has now closed the gap with Felicity and we are only 3 oz apart!  (From earlier months, we were more than a pound apart).  We are very happy to report that we are healthy little ladies.

And on a funny side note, the doctor entered the room and asked Mommy if she was going it alone.  Mommy said no, we have a very involved Daddy, to which she replied that we must not be from around these parts and laughed...and then said, "no, I meant, do you have help?  Like a nanny!" To which she went on to say that we were very nice people (apparently also indicative of not being from around here) and guessed that we had to be from the South or the Midwest because we were nice and our Mommy was doing a great job of being with us alone all day.  We all had a good laugh about it! (And our new doctor is very nice, although we still miss our very first doctor in Colorado--because, well, she was our first pediatrician!).
