The kids had their twelve month check up today, so we made the trip in to their pedi's new office, well the temporary one as his other floor is being built out.
Dr. Weissbluth (the Junior) just started his own practice and since we like him and we've been seeing him since the twins were in the hospital, we made the move with him. I think he's a bit younger than us and single (how I have no idea) which he randomly mentioned today after asking us how we met. Must think of someone to set him up with.
He's gone all digital, so we no longer get the little slip with the kids' stats like at the old practice, which we didn't realize until after the appt., though we went through all of it together. Their growth curves are very consistent, weights are still in the ~35th percentiles and heads in the 85th. I think her height was about 65%. He is crazy long, up to the 95%ile now, making me wonder if he'd be even taller had he not been so disadvantaged in utero, resulting in his disproportionately tiny size at birth.

They did pretty well with their shots, thankfully, and we followed it up with a great lunch at Iberico (the best Tapas in the city), and a quick visit from Santa as we passed by The Peninsula to get mommy some of the best hot chocolate anywhere outside of France.
Nice view, huh?
(minus the mediocre iphone pics)

He gave them each Santa bears from his bag, which is funny because we got "paged" walking down Michigan Avenue last week, so they already had one Santa bear and one Peninsula Mini Cooper.
I have no idea why I posed in front of their foo dog. I think foo dogs are super creepy, but they are an Asian chain, so I guess it makes sense they have them out front.
A little more Chicago for you...
