1 Year Checkup

Andrew and Olivia had their one year check up this week. Yes, they survived their first year and, even more miraculously, so did mom and dad. They've come a long way from where they started. A year ago, they were still having difficulty eating on their own. Now they are crawling all over the place, standing, walking (holding on to mom or dad's fingers), climbing stairs, babbling (no real words yet, at least not that Tara and I can understand), feeding themselves (mostly with their fingers, but they're starting to get the hang of the spoon), and generally keeping us on our toes.

And now for the part you've all been waiting for stats:

Weight

• Olivia weighs 20 lbs, 11 oz, which puts her in the 47th percentile for weight.
• Andrew weighs 23 lbs, 4 oz, which puts him in the 58th percentile for weight.

Not too shabby considering they weren't even on the chart to begin with. They started at 5 lbs, 1 oz, and 5 lbs, 11 oz, respectively.

Height

• Olivia is 31" tall, which puts her in the 96th percentile for height!
• Andrew is 32 1/4" tall which puts him in the 98th percentile for height!

We're not really sure where they get their height.
