David and Goliath

The girls had their 15 month checkup today.

**Nicole is 90/90/90 (height, weight and head).

**Kaitlyn is 45/20/60 (height, weight and head).

Between Kaitlyn (David) and Nicole (Goliath) there is a whopping:

-FIVE POUND difference - 20lb 15oz versus 26lb even, and a
-TWO INCH difference - 30 inches versus 32 inches.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll say it again...WOW!!!!! It's funny to know that these two girls are twins and both have DNA from the same parents, yet they are so different. Of course in time, these differences could obviously moderate, but it sure is obvious right now that they are quite different in size.

Also, Kaitlyn walks funny and we're being sent to have an evaluation of her hip. We used to think it was her foot, but after further examination of her walking over the past several weeks, it's almost like she turns her hip out which makes it look like she's dragging her leg. Guess we'll see whenever we get to have that appointment. Something tells me that it's going to take WEEKS to get into see a doctor like this. Maybe I'll be wrong and pleasantly surprised.

Lastly, they both really only have one word still - DaDa. They still make a few animal sounds if you ask them, but it's somewhat sporadic. So, since the state has a free program to have someone come to your house and just do an evaluation, the doctor said why not. She's a firm believer that you can never go wrong with early intervention. If it turns out to be nothing (which she thinks it is), then great. If it turns out to be something, then we've caught it early.

I'll keep you posted.
