We're 12 months old!

Sorry this post is a little late...I was waiting until their 1 year doctor's apt to have all the stats. My friend Claudia went with us because Young was out of town. Thank you Claudia!!! You can imagine the chaos of getting two babies undressed, weighed, checked out and entertained all at the same time. Anyway, it looks like Timo has recovered from his pneumonia and his lungs sound clear. He still wheezes off and on so we're to use his little inhaler when needed. The big shocking news was that Cameron has actually LOST weight from her 9mo apt. A whopping 6 ounces...which is a lot in baby weight. She is over 3 pounds lighter than her brother. So I have orders to beef her up, let her graze all day if she wants and give her time to eat at each meal. What ends up happening is Timothy is such a fast eater while Cameron likes to talk and eat at her own pace. He inhales all his food in 5min (just like his father) and then starts playing and throwing food. So I get him down while Cameron finishes. Well, she gets distracted by him playing with her chair, she starts throwing food. I figure she is done too and I get her down. Now I'm gonna need put him in another room when he is done and try to feed her more. And she will get snacks in between meals too. Plus, she still doesn't have teeth so finding new, fun food she can eat is always a challenge. We go back in a month to weigh in and see what happens. The doctor doesn't think it's serious, just that she is burning more calories than she is taking in. So she doesn't need to weigh a lot, she just needs to be gaining weight.

This is about as good as I could get...the kids were decked out in their UNC shirts for the last game of the regular season---victory against Duke!! Anyway, the sippy cups were the only thing what would keep them in place.
