Before their check-up this morning, Matt held Tessa in one arm, and Annie in the other, and tried to guess what their weight difference would be. For the past couple of weeks, I've been convinced that Tessa is at least a pound heavier, but Matt's very calculated guess of 8 ounces proved to be right on the money!
Tessa: 23 pounds, 14 ounces (70th percentile!)
Annie: 23 pounds, 6 ounces (60th percentile!)
We have some chunky babies this time around! For comparison, Megan and Bridget each weighed 21 pounds exactly at 15 months.
These little girls are doing new things every day right now. They're now pointing to objects in books, understanding simple commands, throwing their diapers in the diaper pail (we run a tight ship around here and put them to work early!), still climbing every ladder, staircase or step stool in sight, and mastering play structures at every park we go to. They haven't mastered much in the vocab department beyond "Mama" and "Dada," so we also don't speak their language, so who knows what they're saying to each other? ;)
They're also showing their different personalities more and more. Annie is proving to be very alpha in their relationship. She takes things from Tessa, and Tessa usually just lets her. Annie is very curious, relentless when she wants something (won't stop "asking" for it), and pretty stubborn. She hates to be told "no." Meanwhile, Tessa is happiest when she's being held and cuddled. While Annie tries to play with Megan and Bridget, Tessa is content to lounge in a lap, surveying the action from a distance. They both love to flip through books, and are just now loving the girls' baby dolls. They give them kisses and hold them while patting them on the back. Best of all, they're really playing with each other quite a bit. Just tonight, they were holding hands while running around the house after dinner.
These are all pictures from the last week:
