Checking Up

In this corner, weighing in at 26lbs. 11 oz., BRENDEN! And, in the other corner, weighing in at 28 lbs. 8oz., GARHETT! Well, we already knew that G-man is a little bigger than his brother. Today's doctor appointment also confirmed it. Garhett is taller as well, but not by much. He is only a quarter of an inch taller than Brenden. Both boys are looking great according to their doctor, and they are progressing well. Even as far as their speech is concerned she says they are just fine. She was reassuring about the boys not speaking as much as the girls did when they were 19 months old. She also said many times twins will develop their own language, which is something the boys have just started to do. There have been times recently when they make me feel like a third wheel due to the fact that I can not understand them. Usually by the age of two, they will have a more developed vocabulary, and where they are now is perfectly fine. I think Matt and I notice that they don't have as many words because Addy can speak so well. Also, Apryl was one smart cookie when she was a toddler. Then we have Alexys, and everyone knows how well spoken she is! They are on task as far as their doctor in concerned, and that is what I like to hear. They were so well behaved today at the appointment. When it came time to have a shot, they didn't even flinch. Not even a peep! They both "took it like a man" as their father would say. That made it much easier for me, I hate to see them cry. A rather boring doctor visit in a good way! It was nice to be in and out without having to go back in a few days for a follow up, or to have stitches removed!
