12-Months

Today we visited the doctor for our 1 year well-baby check-up. Both Kate and Max are doing very well and continue to grow and develop appropriately. Kate weighs 20lb 2oz and measures 29 inches. Max weighs 21lb 4oz and measures 29.7 inches.

A little story about Max... Sunday, we decided to try peanut butter. Thankfully I decided not to do this until Peter got home because Max had a reaction. He had red splotches everywhere peanut butter touched and welts. Fortunately, it did not impact his breathing and we were able to get it under control with benadryl. Now we have our Epi-Pen and will be seeing an allergist to do further analysis. Poor Max... :(

Other than that, our little peanuts are doing very well and are tons of fun. They play hard together, dance to all the musical things in their playroom, and have started giving each other kisses on purpose. It is super fun to watch them interact with each other - mostly they are nice to each other with the occasional hair pulling (Kate), pacifier stealing (Kate), and toy taking (both).

Kate loves her bunny, waving HI and BYE, getting all the attention, looking out the windows, getting up and down hundreds of times a day, using all her toys to cruise around, trying to get up the stairs before I catch her and gives the biggest, wettest kisses but putting her mouth around ours (hilarious).

From Kate & Max - February 2010


Max will play with the bead maze for extended periods of time not even caring that the beads never make it to the other end of the wire. He pulls up on things on his own, waves occasionally, says Dadda a lot, loves to play with the Velcro on his shoes, and gives the best head butts ever!

Gosh they are cute and I know how sweet they are too :) Scary about the peanut butter! At least you found out in a controlled environment. I am pretty sure Kate is going to be walking the next time I get to see her!

OK, I am biased but they are so adorable. I so appreciate your sharing photos and updates as I miss being able to play and hug the little ones. Glad Max is OK! Kind of scary I am sure!
Love and hugs, YVBA
