Dr. Appointment

Today Logan and Aila both had a doctor's appointment. It was a little stressful for Vanessa. Logan had to get shots and at the exact moment he needed his shots Aila decided she was hungry. Poor kiddos! But we survived : ) Logan had his 15 month check up. The doctor checked out Logan's legs because Vanessa was worried that he was bow legged but the doctor said that it was normal for his age and it will correct itself over time. We also checked Logan's growth and he is slowly climbing up the weight chart. He now weighs 20 lbs 13 oz and he grew almost 4 inches since his 12 month appointment, measuring 31.75 inches! So as far as growth goes, he is right on track! Developmentally Logan is still ahead of the game. Some of Logan's developmental milestones are:
Points to body part when asked (he can do head, eyes, nose, ears, and tongue)
Responds to instructions (e.g., "give me a kiss", "throw this in the garbage")
Empties containers of contents (and makes a mess for mommy!)
Imitates others (like Aila's hiccups, Doug's snorting or Sunny's barking)
Uses a spoon or fork
Pushes and pulls toys while walking
Walks backward
Scribbles with a crayon
Runs
"Helps" around the house (he likes sweeping and mopping the best!)
Turns the pages of a book
Climbing
Able to stack three blocks
Uses common objects the correct way(e.g., the telephone)
Using words (favorites are: ice, up, eye, hi, mama, dada, rock, uh oh - he can also say: dog, cat, hello, nana, clap, yeah, Aila, Doug)
Using signs (eat, drink, more, all done, fan, plane, bird, change diaper, ball, help, sleep, bath, swim, hear, smell, open)

Aila is also doing great. At 2 weeks old babies are supposed to have gained back their birth weight (Aila was 6 lbs 13 oz). When they weighed her today she weighed 8 lbs 1 oz!!! Yay!!! When she was born she was 19.5 inches long and today she was already 20.75 inches long. So she is a lean, mean, growing machine!!! Developmentally there is nothing too new. She is starting to stay awake more and some people have actually been lucky enough to see her with her eyes open : )

We are so blessed to have these two little angels! Praise God that they are healthy and growing!
