Stats and Hags

Madeline and Eli had their 12-month check up today. Yes, we're a little late with it because we switched pediatricians and are so-far very pleased with the change. As usual, both children breezed through the appointment with flying colors. We are so blessed to have such healthy children! Madeline weighed in at a respectable 19 lbs., placing her in the 25th percentile for weight and I can't remember the actual length measurements but she is just below 50th percentile for length. She continues to be our little bitty girl (even though she's so big now!). Eli weighed in at 23 lbs., just above 50th percentile and is in the 75th percentile for length. He places above 100th percentile for sweetness though! Both children have hit all the crucial developmental milestones, and we celebrated a new one today...

M&E are facing forward in the car now! Yay!! Much more comfortable!

We ended our Friday with dinner at California Pizza Kitchen, where Brandon and I had to laugh when two old ladies refused to sit near "the children" and made the hostess sit them elsewhere. Honestly, we get comments from our waitresses all the time about how well-behaved our children are at restaurants. For goodness sake, they're my children - give them some food and they'll be happy and quiet. This was M&E's second sour run-in with old ladies. When they were really young, mom and I had them out shopping and they were getting hungry and starting to fuss, so some cranky old lady told mom that "When they're crying like that, it's time for you to take them home!" Seriously, no need for the grouchiness, senior citizens! Just smile at the babies and enjoy your discounted movie tickets. Ugh!
