Kaitlyn and Nicole: Stats and Pictures

Well, no one ever put a bottle in front of Nicole that she couldn't finish, right? My little eater is in the 90th percentile for weight. Go figure. I think we were kind of expecting that. They aren't concerned yet though because she went up in all the percentiles, indicating that she's just growing. I'm certainly not going to be upping her formula intake anytime soon though. HA!!! She's 75th percentile for height. Awesome. I think that's great that she might be tall.

Kaitlyn is 60th percentile for weight and 55th percentile for height. Those are both improvements from last time too. I was particularly pleased to see her height go up.

So, what does that mean? Well, Nicole weighs 15lbs 12oz - that's exactly a 10 pound gain in her lifetime. And she's 25 inches long. Kaitlyn weighs an even 14 pounds. That's not quite 10 pounds for her yet, but it's close (4-9 at birth). Boy, I can tell a difference when I hold them too. Kaitlyn is definitely lighter. Kaitlyn was 24 1/4 inches long. She's gaining on bigger little sis!!!

Here are some pictures of the girls in their Halloween costumes that we took this weekend. Our neighborhood had a Halloween parade followed by pizza and drinks at the clubhouse. I organized it!!! Mom of the year, right, cause my kids really aren't even old enough to participate. :-) I enjoyed it. (I stole the idea from Brad and Ceylese's neighborhood, who also had their parade the following day, so the babies were actually in two parades this weekend.) We were elephants. How funny!!!

above: Kaitlyn - how adorable. And below: Nicole, also adorable. See how we're starting to figure out that we have hands. They're actually now starting to grab at things rather than have us put something in their hands to hold. Very good progress.

And just a few other random pictures. In order, Kaitlyn, then Nicole - this is their CNN outfit by the way. Not a great view, but you can get the idea well enough to possibly recognize them if you see it. There's another photo below with both of them wearing it.
