19 months

The girls had their 18 month check up a little late. Here are their stats:

Claire- 31.5 inches tall (37 %), 20 lbs (16 %)

Audrey- 33 inches tall (78 %), 26 lbs (83 %)

It is nice to see Claire move up a bit in percentile- she has consistently been in the 10th percentile for height, so unless the measurement was inaccurate, she has had quite the growth spurt! They have definitely slowed down in their weight gain- it is neat to look at their growth charts. Claire weighs what Audrey did at 6 months, which helps explain why we have so many clothes ;) Audrey is wearing mostly 2t clothes with a few 18 months mixed in. Claire is in mainly 12-18 months, with a few 18-24 months and 2t.


Both girls love to read! It is interesting to see the differences though- Claire tends to flip through the pages and babble while Audrey spends time looking at each picture on the page and saying words she knows (i.e. puppy, hat, ball, etc.)

Audrey would definitely spend all day being read to though! She will grab a book and back herself right onto my lap. She also knows the name of some of her books- I've asked her to grab certain books from her room and she runs off and returns with the correct book!


It is harder to get good pictures of the girls these days! They are so busy and rarely stand still. Amanda took family pics for us recently and I've seen a few sneak peeks and she definitely got some good ones! I'm going to create some sort of photo gallery downstairs. Minted.com has some awesome photo art- last year they had some good Black Friday deals, so I think I am going to hold off on ordering anything until then.

The girls also love playing outside and swinging- I ask them if they would like to "go wee" and they run to the patio door. They also love playing kitchen.

In not so great tricks, Audrey has started climbing into our bay window. She uses a chair to get up and then scoots across the 5 feet or so to get to the "treasures" (remote, kleenex box, whatever). I've moved everything so hopefully that puts and end to her antics.

The girls have about 30 or so words- it seems like they learn a new word everyday!
