9 month checkup




As far as preemies go, the girls are progressing well. They are still a bit behind on physical things (they aren't pulling themselves up), but the social and verbal are on target/ahead of where they should be. Claire has slimmed down a bit (as you can tell by comparison photos.) Claire and Alice are still the same height, but in the last 3 months Alice has gained 2 lbs and Claire only gained 1. So Claire is only 1 lb bigger than Alice. What I think is funny is how the lb difference still has them in the same percentile. The doctor isn't worried about Claire's lack of weight gain because her height is progressing well. She is very pleased with Alice's growth since she is catching up with Claire. (After her hospital stay she got way behind and we have been worried). The next time we see the doctor will be for the year checkup. I can't believe how time flies.

The stats are

Alice: 15lbs 12 oz (2%) 27" (19%)

Claire: 16 lbs 10 oz (2%) 27" (19%)
