Check up

Trey and Bella had their "one year" check up today with Dr. Caroline since Dr. Dave is on vacation.

Trey weighs 16 pounds and 5 ounces and is 29 inches long! His head circumference is 45 1/2 inches! This puts Trey in the 5th percentile for length (25th percentile adjusted) and 25th perenctile for head circumference (50th percentile adjusted). He is not yet on the growth chart for weight but is at the 3rd percentile adjusted!

Bella weighs 15 pounds and 1 ounce and is 27 1/4 inches long! Her head circumference is 44 1/2 inches! This puts Bella in the 7th percentile for length (40th percentile adjusted) and 25th perenctile for head circumference (50th percentile adjusted). She is not yet on the growth chart for weight but is at the 3rd percentile adjusted!

Its time to get out the "big girl" and "big boy" Britax car seats! Dr. Caroline recommended keeping them rear racing until 20 pounds or 2 years, which ever comes first!

Since Trey and Bella couldn't get their CBC blood tests done prior to this appointment due to their small viens, we will be getting it done before the 15 month check up!

Trey and Bella are allowed all foods not except peanuts, which we are holding off on until 18 months.

Bella still has her lingering ear infection, so she will be on an antibiotic for this and will be rechecked again in a month.

Trey will be getting Kidscort on his back to help the dry skin.

Trey and Bella will be getting the flu shot in Ocotober and will more than likely qualify for the Synagis (RSV) shots again this winter.

Trey and Bella each got three vaccinations.

Dr. Caroline was very impressed with them and said they are on track with all of the developmental milestones for 12 month old babies! They both walked (with Mommy), clapped, poked, climbed and talked for her. Trey decided to show off and saw "thank you"! Dr. Caroline said this is an 18-24 month skill (putting 2 words together). Dr. Caroline said that Trey and Bella are very intelligent babies and are doing great overall!
