Weight update!

So the results are in. At their 2 month appointment today, Adalyn weighed 9 lbs 10oz and measured 23 inches in length. Alivia weighed 10 lbs 5 oz and was 22.5 inches. They continue to be looong, skinny little girls.

In fact, Adalyn's length is in the 82nd percentile for her age and her weight is only at the 21st percentile. When you compare her weight versus her length, she is at less than the 3rd percentile! She really is a tall, skinny girl.

Alivia is a little plumper and a little more proportioned. She is at the 67th percentile for length and the 38th percentile for weight for her age. When her weight is compared with her length, she is at about the 20th percentile. So she's still a long, skinny girl, but a little less so than Adalyn.

We have to do some physical therapy exercises with Adalyn's neck. Because of her position in the womb, she favors tilting her head toward her left shoulder. So during each diaper change, we have to work her head toward her right shoulder to stretch out the muscles on the left side of her neck. It shouldn't be a big deal in the long run. But if the tightness doesn't loosen up in the next few weeks, Dr K wants me to let them know, and they will get her into some formal physical therapy.

Oh, and they both got their shots today as well. Three shots for each little one. Not fun. They have both slept so well since they got the shots. And even when they are awake, they have been much more lethargic than normal. Poor little sweeties.

Otherwise, Dr K is very happy with their development - even though both of the girls appear to be string beans!!
