12 Month Check Up

On Friday we went for the boy's twelve month check up. All in all they are doing well. Thomas weighed in at 16 pounds 7.5 ounces and his height is 28 inches. Michael was just a little bit bigger than Thomas, coming in at 16 pounds 11.5 ounces and 28 1/8 inches. The doctor was a little concerned with the boys weight gain. So in the next six weeks we are going to pump up the amount of protein that they eat, and start drinking whole milk (yeah!!!! some freedom for me!!!) Then we will go back for a weight check. If they are gaining weight then we will continue what we are doing. If the doc is still not satisfied with their weight gain then we will probably start looking into why they are not absorbing what they eat. I don't think that we will have to go that route. The boys have pretty much switched to all table food. I have a small amount of baby food that I am trying to get rid of, once that happens we will be all table food. They are very good eaters. So I think that once they are on all table food they will gain some weight and all will be good.

The boys are getting very good at getting to where they want. In fact right now Thomas is exploring under the desk as I am typing this. They don't actually crawl, but they can get where they want. Above are pictures of the boys enjoying their birthday cupcakes, Thomas is on top and Micheal on the bottom.
