The kids' half birthday was last Friday, but we just went to the pedi today, hence the tardy update. They are both rocking and rolling skinny giants (3% BMIs for them both), and have each added exactly an inch and a half in height and nearly four pounds since our last visit in December. While they are officially "underweight" (less than 5 BMI %ile), the pedi is unconcerned since they are healthy eaters and children overall, and we are both tall and thin.
They are both talking (and singing, counting, spelling) like mad, she's telling elaborate stories, and are in the midst of the twos and their challenges. She is very mature for her age and knows what she wants and he is mostly having trouble with transitions (leaving somewhere he is having fun, etc.). She is eagerly potty training and he is just starting to get excited about it now. They are loving camp and swimming and playing outside (when it's not raining).
They have been awesome sleepers from the get go, but the last few weeks have been like infant redux, so we are all still recovering. I'm not sure the cause, since milestones and teething (they have all their two yrs already, and a great dentist report as of this week) have never phased them. They loved seeing their auntie Jennie and we had a nice albeit brief little getaway. Counting down until our next trip together...
