The little guys jst had their 12 month well baby and seems we are doing good and growing quickly. Both boys were right on track with milestones. Of course Taft wrestles around like an alligator out of water when being examines. I think it is hilarious that a pediatrician who sees kids 5 days a week can't stop laughing because he will not hold still and tries to detroy everythig he can get his hands on.
Zeke: 3rd percentile for height, 5th percentile for weight and 29th for head circumference!
Taft: 12th for height, 18th for weight and 96th for head...yes you read that right, 96!
Both boys had blood taken for lead and other routine tests, but Taft did also for Celiac disease indicators. His little body shape is super skinny arms and legs but a huge pregnant belly, which can be a sign, but everything came back perfect! Therefore, he just has a huge beer belly...just no beer in there! We have many doc appts coming up: Dentist appt for both boys, now that we have teeth!, cirsumcision(yikes!), ENT for Zeke now(possible tubes and adenoids as well, similar to Taft). From now on we have monthly weight checks...we are quickly catching up to the American norm, but need to start speeding that up, so trying out Pediasure and hoping to pack on some pounds! I love that the three men in my house are desperately trying to pack on pounds!
I love that when we leave the doctor we are happy and healthy, even on the American scale, since sevral months ago we were shockingly behind developmentally and in the 0 percentile for everything!
