Bath Time

What's cuter than a baby in the bathtub? TWO!!! Twice the cuteness & twice the mess. Thursday night was their first real bath. Now that the girls can sit up by themselves, I thought we would try a big girl bath with bubbles. No more infant tub! And what a time saver for mom & dad. Get both over at once. Lexa loved splashing & filling the cup up with water over & over again. Geneva preferred to play with the duckie & look at Lexa puzzled.
We were visiting Granny & Granddad's last weekend & literally could not fit the infant bathtub in the car (it was PACKED) so we resorted to our first bath in the kitchen sink (Geneva wasn't quite steady enough at that point to try the regular bathtub).



Monday was their 9-month check-up. They did great! They flirted the entire time with the doctor & nurse, babbling & clapping their hands, pulling at the stethoscope, patting the doctor's face, you name it. They had to get their heals pricked for their iron/anemia test (which turned out normal, no more iron drops). When Geneva got her blood drawn (and it's quite a bit) she clapped the entire time. Her bandaid stayed on all of 1 minute until it ended up in her mouth. Here are their stats:

Geneva: 18 lbs., 1 oz. (30th percentile); Height 26.93 inches (25th percentile)

Lexa: 21 lbs., 11 oz. (90th percentile); Height 27.64 inches (50th percentile).

The doctor (and mommy) are very proud of the girls. You never would know they were preemies! They are such big girls, both sitting up, making crawling motions, and this week have started to pull up.
