First Trip to the Big Lake

So today the girls had their 6 month (she's really 7 months) and 2 year check ups. Matt took the day off so we could go to the beach afterward. Emma was in heaven! She could have played in the sand and the freezing water for hours! Isabella could have cared less where we were, but maybe that will change next year. After playing at the beach we went back up to grandma's house and got cleaned up. Then we went for a walk downtown to see the sights of Harborfest. Mostly we wanted to go get a snack. Emma got her first big ow-ee while we were down there. She tripped and skinned her knee so we got some cotton candy and went home. The cotton candy made her knee better every time she took another bite.

Emma did great at her check-up. She is very healthy and enjoyed showing off to the doctor how smart she is. She was 24 lbs. 15oz. which is the 25th percentile and 34 inches tall which is the 50th percentile. So she is getting a little taller and skinnier than her last appointment.

Isabella was also very good for her appointment, although she didn't like the nurse very much. She was a little scary at first and then gave her shots at the end, so who can blame her. She was 18lbs. 13 oz. which is the 85th percentile and 26.5 inches which is the 60th percentile. For comparison; Emma was 14 lbs. 11 oz. and 25 inches at her 6 month check-up (done at 6 and a half months). So basically I have 1 midget and 1 giant and by the time Isabella is a year old I will have twins that are 18 months apart.


Here are a couple of pictures from today:
