Superbabies

I can't help but brag about my awesome babies...

Ella is speed crawling and can make it from one corner of the family room to the other in seconds. She is also sitting straight-up and loving every minute of it. Her newest trick is pulling herself up to a standing position. She started by climbing up David and progressed to climbing up furniture and the gate between the family room and the kitchen.

Jack has mastered the crawl as well, though he is a bit more thoughtful as to where he is going (Ella goes over whatever is in her way). Jack is doing the "lean" on his arm but isn't quite sitting up.

We had a pediatrician appointment Tuesday this week, and he was thrilled with their progress. Many things they are doing are age appropriate for their birth age. Our hopes before were that they would be hitting developmental goals for their adjusted age.

At the doctor's appointment we also got their newest measurements. Jack is now 15.2lbs and is at the 50th percentile in both his length and weight (adjusted) and at the 90th percentile for his head size. Poor baby... such a big head for a little boy.

Ella is now 14.8lbs and is at the 25th percentile in both length and weight (adjusted). Her head is in the 50th percentile.

David and I are so amazed everyday at Jack and Ella's progress. Once again... their soooo awesome!!
