The girls went to the Pediatrician today and they both checked out well. Our biggest thing to work on is getting the girls to start drinking out of their sippy cups and stop using their bottles. We have been working on this for a while and Riley gets it better than Addison but neither one really likes to drink out of the sippy cups. I guess if we take away the bottles all together, they will be forced to use the sippy cups.
We got a new prescription for Zantac to help with the reflux issues. I know we were not using the correct dose after putting them back on the Zantac so the Dr. will call in the proper dose for us this time.
Here are the stats -
Addison:
Height: 29 3/4in ~ 25 %ile
Weight: 20lbs 4oz ~ 10 - 25%ile
Head: 18 3/4in ~ 90%ile
Riley:
Height: 29 3/4in ~ 25 %ile
Weight: 20lbs 9oz ~ 10 - 25%ile
Head: 18 3/4in ~ 90%ile
So our twins share the same height and head circumference and they are only 5oz different on weight. Riley the smaller twin is now the bigger twin for the last 3-4 months. It is so funny to see that they are so similar in their stats yet so different in their personalities.
They did great on their shots even though they had to have 4 each. They will only need 1 shot at their 18 month visit and then they won't have any more shots until they are 4 years old. Yay for a break in the shots.

They are growing up so quickly! Micah really struggled with giving up his bottles - I just sort of forced the issue a bit around 14-15 months, and he finally mastered it. Some babies do better with the straw sippy cups...Micah always wanted to tilt the straws up, so that didn't work so well for us. I love seeing how they are growing and changing! - Tkeys
