Well, the girls had their 9-month checkup this week, and the pediatrician was very pleased with their progress. Clara is 24 1/2 inches long and weighs 12 lbs. 8 oz. Ellie is 23 3/4 inches long and weighs 12 lbs. 6 oz. We had believed that they were over 13 lbs, but they are close. We are starting them on baby food this weekend and they had carrots for the first time today. Elis says that they gave her quite a look when they had their first bite, I wish I had a picture to share. Anyway, we are very happy that they are doing so well and believe that they will have a big growth spurt over the coming weeks and months. The solids should help pack on the weight since it has more calories than the formula and rice cereal. I can't wait until they have real fruit for the first time!!!
