Today was the twins four month well baby appointment. Unfortunately it's closer to their 5th month birthday than 4th, but I wasn't able to get in with Dr. Parvin (our new Pedi here in H-Burg) until today. It was a good report all around. He was pleased with their interaction, eye contact, and ability to talk. He also tested their strength by putting them on their bellies. Carter did great - lifted his head and shoulders and pushed against the doctor's hands when they were on his feet. Olivia, however, stole the show. The doctor declared that Olivia had better mucle tone than Carter and sure enough, she turned over from belly to back, right there on the table in front of all of us. Wow Olivia!
Before I reveal their stats, remember that they were born small so they may sound like they are "behind" the curve, but actually they are right on the curve. Their curve is just the bottom one on the graph. So, they have been tracking very nicely, taking in to account where they started.
Olivia:
Weight: 10 lbs, 5 oz. 4th%
Height: 23.5 in. 10th%
Head Circumference: 15.75 in. 5th%
Carter:
Weight: 12 lbs 14 oz. 5th%
Height: 25.875in 65th% (wow!!)
Head Circumference: 15.75in. 5th%
