15 month well baby

The appointment was actually last week, but we have been so busy.  The girls are developing wonderfully.  They are at or above where they should be at 15 months.  Kendall is definitely going to be our precocious one.  She amazes us every day with her new words and abilities.  We have this puzzle where you put the mama and baby animal in a barn.  If you give her one of them, she can pick out the match almost every time.  At 15 months!  My little smarty-pants :)

Yay for being smart!  Oh yeah, I should probably take this tag off...

Kylie is still our loud and attention-getting baby.  Today I got the report that she was beating up on Kendall.  She's nice to everyone else, but feels the need to beat up on her sissy.  What the heck, Ky?

Me?  Look at my face...it just screams innocent!

As if you couldn't tell from their pictures, my girls are HUGE!  Here are their 15 month stats:

Kendall (Baby A)
26lbs 7oz (90th percentile)
34 inches long (100+ percentile) ... yeah OFF the charts! (volleyball scholarship, volleyball scholarship...)

Kylie (Baby B)
26lbs 8oz (90th percentile)
31.5 inches long (80th percentile)

Here are some pictures of the girls from this weekend.  We took them out to dinner last Friday (which they LOVE).  They are really good, except for wanting our food more than theirs.  All of our dishes ended up under the table because they were grabbing for EVERYTHING.  Silly girls!

Yes, I will hypnotize you with my blue eyes...

So serious...

Bargain Shopping...

My girls were peanuts when they were born (at their one week appointment they were in the 1st percentile and 3rd percentile).  Since then, they have been in the 90's in both height and weight.  Lately, all their 12-18 month tops are too short on them (they're perpetually rocking the hoochie belly-shirt look!).  I pulled a bunch of 18-24 month tops out of the bins in the basement that friends have been generous enough to give us.  I hope to salvage some 18 month clothing that we haven't even taken the tags off of for fall, but I am doubting any of that is going to fit.  Looks like I'll be fall/winter shopping for a whole new wardrobe for the girls.

We were at Old Navy this weekend shopping for a gift for an upcoming birthday party, and I walked past a display of bootcut jeans on clearance for $7.99.  I also had a 25% off coupon.  SCORE!  I even managed to capture the girls rocking their new jeans (and I can't believe 18-24 month jeans fit my 15 month olds!)

It's fun to play with remotes in the kitchen!

Playing with tupperware in our new jeans!

What's up?

Yeah, keeping our tags on, that's how we roll...

Cute twin booty shot!

On Sunday I took some of their clothes over to a local consignment shop and picked up two pairs of jeans and two tops for $14.  I LOVE stylish brand name clothes, but finding it at a great price is even better.  Having twins has definitely made me  more of a bargain queen...

Feeble attempt...

So, we are making our first plane trip with the girls soon. (Going to WDW with the grandparents!). I am already nervous about the plane flight with two 16 month olds. We are doing the lap thing since they are under 2 and we don't have to pay for them yet. I am already regretting not buying them seats, especially for my wiggle worm, Kendall.

I know this is a new blog, and therefore probably has little to no readership, but if you have any suggestions on how to keep a lap baby happy on a plane, please let me know. I'll owe you a cookie ;)

Hand, Foot, and Mouth. Bite me!

They should really rename the acronym for HFM to WTF.  Seriously, this has been the illness that just keeps giving.  On one hand, the girls are feeling better...one the other hand, my hands look like this:

You wanna shake hands?!?  No???  C'mon.  Live a little :)

Yeah.  Kevin and I got HFM.  In short...it SUCKS.  Kev doesn't have the "leper" rash, but has the uber-fun ulcers in his throat.  Awesome.  For the super clean, over-sanitizing, germaphobe in me, this has been the worst.  From everything I have read, adults get this pretty rarely, so yeah, our immune systems must totally rock!

Hopefully, we are all on our way to feeling better and gettin back to normal.  2+ weeks of this, and I am spent.

But they're still cute, so there is always a bright side!

Kendall - diarrhea started a week ago
Kylie - diarrhea started 5 days ago
Kendall - vomited Friday morning (fine after)
Kendall - Fever Saturday morning - ear infection
