Last Tuesday I took Gwen and Grace in for their 3 year and 18 month check ups (yes...they were a month over do-at least I took them). What a joke that was!! They did not want to listen to me at all and they cried from the moment we got to the waiting room until the nurse gave them stickers on a popsicle stick back in the exam room, and even then they didn't really behave!! At least it's done and over now.
Gwenyth is now 36 and 3/4 inches long, and weighs 25 pounds. She is small in both height and 
weight compared to other kids her age, but her height and weight gain are great for her. She's really been growing a little faster than she used to and seems to be filling out just a little bit more, though she's still a skinny little thing. She is developing well in all areas and having no problems. Her imagination is amazing. She told my dad while he was here that she needed a drink...so she took one of her toy cups and put it under her Tickle Me Elmo's nose and then pretended to turn his eyes like she was turning faucet handles for water. She is something else. Our families also got a kick out of her new way of throwing a temper tantrum. When she doesn't get her own way, she says "Ah man!!" then folds her arms like she was going to pray, nods her head and continually says "Hmph!" over and over again, and will even pat her back while having her arms folded. It's really funny to watch.

It's really funny to watch. Grace is now 33 and 1/2 inches long and weighs 25 pounds as well. Yes, Gracie has finally caught 
up with her big sister. I can now joke that all I need to do for exercise is grab one girl in each of my arms and I have two 25 pound weights. She is tall for her height and average for her weight for her age. She is developing well just like Gwen. Unfortunately she did have to have a shot, which made the afternoon much worse for everyone, but she has recovered well. She is now saying "Ah man!!" thanks to big sister Gwen, and is really starting in on the imaginative play too. This morning I caught her making two of her little toys kiss each other over and over again. She also loves to walk backwards and is creating new dance moves to add to her routine of dances she does to music. She will also take a toy microphone that sings Disneys "Under the Sea" and will not only sing along with the song (and she actually says the words) while holding the microphone to her mouth but she will also dance and wave one arm around and put on a show. It's a hoot.

My little 
chunker gained 6 ounces in about a week and a half. She now weighs 10 pounds 2 ouces. She's doing really well and is even going for 6 to 7 hour stretches at night two or three times a week. Yay for me!! She also finally smiled at me last night and cooed too. She has cooed a little bit here and there today and has been giving little half smiles to everyone. My dad called her Sammy Snake while he was here because when she gets hungry she starts sticking her tounge out over and over again like she's searching for food with her tounge (like a snake)!! What a cutie.
