One Year Stats

The girls turned one on the 18th but we couldn't get into see Dr. Dudas until today. So here are the latest statistics.

Madeline weighed in at 17lbs, 8oz. She is 27.5in tall (long). She is still small at about the 3rd percentile meaning 97% of one year olds are bigger than her. But she is healthy and doing very well. Still not walking, but that is okay with me.
Emma weighed in at 18lbs, 2oz. She is also 27.5 in tall. Emma hit at about the 10th percentile and is also very healthy. Also still not walking, again this is okay with me.

We finally get to switch off formula, YEA!!!! That stuff is so expensive and to think that we have been on it for a year. Hopefully, we will notice the change in our grocery bills. I haven't let them try to feed themselves with a spoon yet, but think I may start in August. They love to feed themselves finger foods, especially waffles in the morning with some strawberries and bananas on top. Getting them to eat veggies is where we have to get creative. They love soup, so I strain out the broth and give them all the veggie chunks. They also love garden burgers and spinach pancakes. The sweet potato fries and pancakes are also a big hit. Auntie Katie introduced them to the strawberry whirl Jamba Juice. It's made with strawberries and bananas and they LOVE it. I also think it feels good on their gums cause it's cold. Not something we want to turn into a habit, but nice to know when we are out and about a smoothie will distract and feed.
