Beanpoles

Connor & Isaac went for their 18 month check-ups today & the pedatrician told us that they are both tall & thin.

Isaac is 33" tall (75th percentile) and weighs 20 lbs. 14 oz. (3rd percentile). The doctor suggested we add Carnation Instant Breakfast or Ovaltine to his milk to help get some extra calories in him. He is right on target for speech with at least 50 words in his vocabulary.

Connor is 34 7/8" tall (97th percentile) and weighs 26 lbs. 5 oz. (50th percentile). He is not really talking yet, but don't tell him that. He will carry on an entire conversation with you without saying a single real word. We're hoping he is just a late talker, which is very common for boys and twins...two things stacked against him.

Both boys are healthy & doing well in every other way. They are definitely turning into little boys and couldn't be more different. They both crack me up constantly.

Yay for healthy boys! I can't believe the dr suggested you add Carnation Instant breakfast or ovaltine! That's like 90% refined sugar! There are some other great ways to add calories without sugar and other junk. Just let me know if you need any ideas. My brother is a health guru and gives me lots of great tips! :)
