ilane had her 18 month well-check, and Xaris had her 4 year well-check since I've last blogged. Here are the updates on both girls!
The good news: Xaris weighed in at 27 lbs, which PUTS HER ON THE CHART for the first time in 2 years!! She's in the 5th percentile, but hey, that's better than negative! She's 38" tall (25th percentile) and healthy in every other way. We might need to get her eyes checked--it either took her awhile to figure out what she was supposed to do with the eye chart, or she really did have some difficulty seeing it. She doesn't have great genetics for eyesight, unfortunately. But, it would be fantastic if she inherited her father's eyes and has perfect vision.
iXy weight in at 21.4 lbs (15th percentile), 31 inches (30th percentile) and head was 17.5 inches (5th percentile). Quite the opposite of her sister--who has a big ol' head! She's doing well, but is still not talking much so we're trying to make it not quite so easy for her to get what she wants without using words (or at least trying to use words).
They are both just great fun!
They are each other's favorite (except for maybe when papa comes home) and prefer to play together. When iXy isn't in the room, Xaris complains about being lonely, and typically ilane will follow Xari around the house playing with her. Of course, they complain about turns and sharing, but most of the time they're fine and play well together. Part of me is waiting for the other shoe to drop. :)
Xaris has her ballet recital soon and just got her costume! This is her with her two best ballet friends and her incredible teacher Miss Sarah.
She loves these friends, and really enjoys her ballet class...and ANY other kinds of crazy dancing she can manage! Case in point--this video I managed to capture when she jumped down from the bench in the middle of lunch at the zoo. It was completely random, I'm not sure where it came from, other than she decided that she just had to dance!
And this from one of our before-bed dance parties
