On Tuesday we visited the doctors office (seems like the billionth time this winter) for Ella's 3 year and Claire's 6 month check-up. Both girls are healthy and developing on schedule. Ella weighed 29 pounds and was 35 inches tall, still between the 5th and 10th percentile for both weight and height (hence her nickname - Peanut). Claire weighed 16 pounds, 12 ounces and was 26 1/2 inches long, which is the 75th percentile for both weight and length - she continues to be much bigger than her sister and is now wearing 9 month clothes.
Other news: Claire started sitting this past weekend and is very proud of herself. It happened quite suddenly, one day she couldn't and the next she was a pro. She has also started eating solid food and loves sweet potatoes, squash and bananas.
Ella started a pre-school tumbling class at Alpine Gymnastics with Keegan last week called Tumble Bees. She really enjoys it, but isn't as physically adept as the other kids - I'm sure she will improve by the end of the 8 weeks. We are also hoping (praying) it will help with her listening skills and direction following. She looks so darn cute in her leotard!
