(Belated) 2 year and 2 month check ups

Today, the girls each had their routine milestone check-ups.  Although belated due to our move and our arrival here in Alaska, it was finally good to get some offical digits on their weight & height on the growth chart.

Abbigail's 2 year check up stats:
Height - 32.5 in (15th %tile)
Weight - 24 lbs (16th %tile)
Abby is in motion almost non-stop.  She climbs up and down stairs with almost no help, jumps up using both feet, runs with ease, has been sitting at the table (with no booster) using her fork & spoon like a pro, likes to pick all her clothes and wants to do things by herself.  She is a huge helper & loves to copy household activities that I do around the house.  The next step with Abby will be potty training.  I figured there will be a lot of little naked butt days with our potty near by.  Oh lordy...

 Marilyn's (really belated) 2 month check up stats -
Height - 23.75 in (50th %tile)
Weight - 12 lbs 14 oz (52nd %tile)
 Our baby girl is smiling  and cooing quite a bit at us.  She turns her head toward our different voices... and as you can imagine with the kids playing & screaming, she is very busy looking around to see who it is.  Speaking of looking around, Mar (sounds like Bear... this is one of her knicknames) follows a toy with her eyes.  She raises her head when she is doing tummy time, has really good head control when we are holding her.  Finally, Marilyn is starting to grasp toys that are put near her.  She is a rockstar sleeper at night pulling 9-10 hour stretches before waking (which Mommy loves given that she is breastfed).
