Apples and oranges

We took both girls to the doctor on Friday for their checkups, which meant shots all around. Delightful.

But it also meant the customary measurements were taken, which is my favorite part. Amelia continues on her track of being short, pretty light, and having a ginormous head. This explains why everything that fits her elsewhere WON'T fit over her head! :)

21 lbs, 4.5 oz - 25%
28 1/2 in - 5%
47.3 cm head - 85%

Lily is growing healthily as well - although she seems to be a little more average, especially where her head is concerned.

11 lbs, 5 oz - 50%
22 in - 26%
38.6 cm head - 35%

For fun, we pulled out Amelia's stats from her two-month appointment. One day we'll try to stop comparing them, but for now it's harmless fun for us. :)

10 lbs, 9.5 oz - 42%
21 in - 9%*
38.9 cm head - 51%

*We don't think this was an accurate length measurement because it would have meant she had shrunk from her one-month appointment, plus it wasn't until she was several months old that she started slipping down on the bell curve of height.

While we're comparing, here are a couple of photos to see both girls at two months old.

I see a lot of similarities for sure, but I can also very much tell them apart. It's kind of like the old adage of comparing apples and oranges - the girls have their own special traits, but they are definitely in the same family and both are, without a doubt, sweet. :)
