Numbers Don't Lie

Over the past couple of months, we became absolutely convinced that Oliver was significantly outpacing his sister in the growth department.  There was no doubt in our minds that he was at least a pound or two heavier than S, and then we took them in for their one-year appointment.

Oliver

23 lbs. 3 oz. (75th percentile)

30 1/2 inches (75th percentile)

Stella

23 lbs. 2 1/2 oz. (90th percentile)

30 3/4 inches (95th percentile)

As you can tell, neither of us would be good "guess your weight" people at the circus!  We have two toddlers (we decided they are now too big to be called babies anymore) that are the exact same size.  Apparently, our little koala bear Stella is just better at helping hold a little bit of her weight when we're carrying her!

They were both also champs at handling the blood draw with no crying and the shots with minimal crying. The other big news is that they seamlessly made the transition from formula to whole milk. No more mixing bottles! And soon to be no more bottles!
