Cally is doing great at 17 lbs. He is around the 50th percentile and if you adjust his age he is actually in the 75th percentile for length and height on the growth chart. Of course Chris is worried this means he is going to be shorter than Harm who was in the 95th percentile for height (his 2yr appt predicts him at 6'2 to 6'4). My husband is 5'11 and is pretty sensitive about the height thing being the smallest of his brothers. So we will have to see at Cally's 2 yr appt! The only bad news is that Callum is getting further screened for hearing loss... hopefully it is still just bad machines.
I love that they are so healthy and happy. I am still confident this hearing screening will be okay in the long run. When we think of how they were 9 mos ago these little ones are miracles :)

They are so beautiful. There is nothing wrong with being small and petite. What a darling family.
ReplyDeleteThe football player and the ballerina. How cute! They have perfect builds for their destiny. And I wouldn't worry about Callum being shorter right now. They always even out around 2 years. It is when he is a teenager that you should worry. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd for being fraternal twins, they sure look an awful lot alike! Both incredibly adorable.
Adorable! And wow! They do look so much alike! My petite twin is 11 pounds 10 ounces at almost 5 months, and I don't see her being much bigger than your Rachel by 9 months since my kids really slow down at six months! Heck! The chunky one is only 12 pounds 10 ounces! My boys were all just so much bigger, but the smallest of them was 8 pounds at birth not 5 or 6!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy those kids!
