Twin's 18 month checkup

WOW! Can you believe it?? The twins are now 18 months old?!?!
Here are a few pictures looking back...
Hanna's very first picture. Born: Dec 13, 2006 8:08pm
Dylan's very first picture. Born: Dec 13, 2006 8:09pm
This is my ALL TIME favorite picture!! They were 5 weeks old, sleeping in the pack n play bassinet in the guest room (so Mommy didn't have to go up the stairs 50 times per day/night) when I went in to check on them. They were sound asleep, sleeping nose to nose. They loved each other SO much as infants! They wouldn't fall asleep until they were together.
SO SWEET!!

And now, as of Friday, June 13, 2008, they are 18 months old! I took them for their 18 month check up and here are their stats:
Hanna: 24 lbs 1 oz (45%) 33 inches (80%)
Dylan: 23 lbs 15 oz (20%) 31 1/2 inches (30%)
Yes, Hanna is 1 1/2 inches taller than Dylan! Dr. Stone said "Don't worry! He'll catch up and be taller later in life!" And they are only 2 oz different in weight!
Dr. Stone said they are both doing great! Dylan is to continue working with his therapists but is growing well - despite all his sickness. And Hanna is right on target. She is a little pigeon toed but Dr. Stone assured us that they would correct themselves over the next several years. She also said that their herniated belly buttons would continue to close up over the next several years too - yeah! I was worried about that.
Enjoy the look back through memory lane with me... I have mixed emotions about them growing up! I'm glad to be finished with baby stages - night time feedings, bottles, formula, etc BUT I will miss having a little swaddled infant to rock to sleep. We are off to bigger, better and a new stage of life with our little ones. Out with bottles and sleepless nights, in with play dates, tea parties and t-ball!!
