18-month checkup

went fine this week. No problems, just BIG kids !!
Avery was 31 lbs 13 oz, 34.5" - off the chart 100+ percentile.
Connor has "beefed up" nicely to 29 lbs 5 oz, 34", 90 % (up from 50 at 15 months!?)
Dr. Anna put Avery on a diet !?!? :-) She said, "speaking of weight"....so she's on non-fat milk now, and things like non-fat cheese, etc.

Realizing how much the kids have grown in the past 6 months, we noticed that both A&C can see the top of the dining room table now, when 6 months ago, Connor used to cruise under the table with his walker without ducking !! Think back 6 months or so when we used to change them in the downstairs bathroom laying ACROSS the cabinet countertop !! If we lay them there now, they would have to put their feet halfway up the wall.

Connor was making a little more noise yesterday morning when waking up. It wasn't early or anything, and he wasn't crying, rather just talking a lot to himself. We go to get him and find that his full-body PJs are unzipped down to the diaper, exposing his chest like some sort of sex symbol. He was just sitting there indian-style giving us the "mmm?" as if to say, "I don't know what happened"....
