Trey and Bella are 15 months old today!
Mommy was up most of the night with Trey. He is really teething and having a hard time with it. Mommy and Daddy were very surprised Bella slept through it all. She must have been tired since she was up a lot the night before! They have both gone from sleeping through the night to waking up again. The Pediatrician said that both have teeth coming in and to bear with them.
Trey and Bella had their "15 month" check up today! Both are doing very well.
Trey weighs 18 pounds exactly and is 30 inches long (3/4 inch less than at the NICU follow up! We measured twice today, so that one must have been off a little). His head circumference is 46 centimeters. This puts Trey in the 25th percentile for height and head circumference, but he is still not on the growth chart for weight, so he is considered "less than 3rd percentile".
Bella weighs 16 pounds exactly and is 29 inches long! Her head circumference is 46 1/2 centimeters. This puts Bella in the 25th percentile for height and the 50th percentile for head circumference, but she is still not on the growth chart for weight, so she is considered "less than 3rd percentile".
Trey has some new teeth coming in on the bottom and Bella has a new tooth coming in on the bottom in addition to a few molars. The Doctor said this is most likely why they have been having a hard time sleeping and recommeded giving them some motrin or tylentol if it helps.
Trey and Bella also each got 3 vaccinations. Bella knew exactly where we were as soon as we entered the ecam room. She cried from then until we left the building. Trey was very brave. He barely whimpered when we got his shots, but he screamed while Bella was getting hers - he was trying to reach for her. He's being a good big brother already!
Trey and Bella have another appointment for their second dose of the flu shot on the 19th of December. Their next check up with Dr. Dave is at the end of February. If they are not in for a sick visit in January, the Doctor would like us to bring them in for a weight check to make sure they continue to grow!
