2 year Doctor Appt for the twins - better late than never!!

The twins had a great visit with Doctor Lopez today! He was very pleased with both of them! They got a flu shot and are cranky because of it. But, all the concerns that we had 8 months ago are no longer there except Adam's seasonal allergies and asthma which could be there for life or he may grow out of them. Hopefully, he won't have to deal with them forever like his dad and I do.
Adam's Stats:
weight: 31.2
height: 36
head c: 50.6 - he already has a big head so don't tell him how cute he is! lol! jk!
He is walking, talking, and learning just as he should be! He is a puzzle boy for sure. He could sit there for an hour putting pieces on his many puzzles. He is starting to say banana correctly about 1/2 the time. (if you haven't seen it yet check out his video on Jonathan's facebook page) He loves his alphabet toy on the fridge and has learned many of his letters from there. We can tell him to go find L for lion and he will walk to the fridge and pull out the L from all the letters scrambled on the fridge. He can do that with more than 1/2 of them. He also loves his alphabet game is Granny and Granddaddy Hensley gave him for Christmas. You can have it showing the letter and tell him to find fish and he will turn over the f and show you the picture of the fish. He loves to "read" books and pick out letters that he knows and also the pictures of animals and other items. He loves to go to the park with the family and go through the tunnels and down the slides. He is well on his way to potty training and will tell me when he has a dirty diaper.
Mia's Stats:
weight: 24 lbs
height: 35"
head c: 48 cm
Mia is a lot like her brother in that she says banana funny with her tongue going side to side instead of the normal up and down. She loves putting together puzzles, reading books of all kinds, and always wanting to learn new things. She also loves the fridge learning tools especially the one with the animals. I think the pig is both of their favorite. She is also walking, talking, and learning things right on track for their age. If I would let her she would color on every surface of the house and could do it for hours. She is very outgoing and loves to play with others. She seems to be a leader and hopefully that continues throughout her life.
She also is wanting to get rid of the diapers but isn't for sure exactly what to do in order to get that accomplished. She is the best at dressing and especially undressing herself and has been teaching her brother to do the same. We got a new stuffed lion that you can sit on and she is scared of it but loves to tell us that it goes Roar! Mia also has a word that she has been saying that we found out is ICE but it sounds like a bad word for butt. Hopefylly we don't see any ice in public until we can get her to pronounce it better. Mia is finally taking to the bows that I make her and will let me put them in her hair. She will ask for them now which makes Mommy very happy since I love to make them for her.
Both of them enjoy going on walks and playing at the park. They love their cousins and often say Emma telling me that they want to play with her. I love that they are so close in age and get along so well.
We are truely blessed to have such wonderful kids to raise and love. Mommy and Daddy love you very much Adam and Mia! Like our cousin says about her son, thank you for breathing!
