Ped Appointment x 2

Just sayin - I love being able to get two doctors appointments done in just one quick visit!

Melia had her 30 month (two and a half years for those of you doing the math in your head) check up today and Makena had her 9 month check up.  Both girls are doing very well.  Health and meeting milestones on or before schedule.

Melia is 34 1/2" tall (17th percentile) and 26 pounds (18th percentile).  I think this is the highest we have been on the percentage scale since she was born.  She is a petite little girl, but very healthy.  Melia is very active and full of energy.  She always wants to run or jump.  Her speech is getting better daily and you can really hold a good conversation with her.  Melia still LOVES reading.  We read books every night and  usually a few times during the day.  And she is always asking to go to the library.  We have a ton of Sesame Street books that seem to be the favorites right now.  And of course Dr. Suess!  Potty training is going well.  We are still using Pull Ups at night.  Luckily our road trip to Michigan didn't really set us back.  She had a few accidents while we were there but considering all of the excitement and things going on she did very well.

Makena is quickly catching up to her big sister.  She is 28 1/4" tall (66th percentile - not sure where she gets that from!) and weighs 18 pounds 8 oz. (38th percentile).  She was getting too long for most of her 9 month clothes, so we have started moving to 9-12 and 12 month outfits.  Makena does a lot of "baby talk".  I keep working on "Mama" for her first word, but she is definately leaning towards "Dada"!  She is crawling all over the place now and pulling up on everything.  Of course that means she is falling down on everything too.  I think the kid is going to end up as one big bruise! She has 4 teeth in and has been acting like some more are on the way.  Makena is a very happy baby with a beautiful smile!

As long as everyone stays healthy, next pediatrician appointment for Makena is 12 months and Melia is at 36 months (am I really going to have a 3 year old?!?!?)!
