3 year check-up

The girls had there 3 year check-up a few days ago. I totally cannot believe they are 3!??!? It's crazy. They actually did VERY well at the doctor. I was shocked. Jocelyn usually TOTALLY freaks out and won't stand on the scale, get her temperature checked or anything but this time she was fine. I was very thankful :) They actually thought everything the doctor did to them was SO cool. I think it helped b/c they have a "doctor's" set at home that they use all the time to check their babies and stuffed animals so they were somewhat familiar with the doctor's tools :) It also helped that they had to get ZERO shots at this appointment (PRAISE JESUS). Their 4 year appt will require like 5 shots each....geeeeeez...glad that's a year away! So, it's been so crazy....throughout the last 3 years at every doctor's appointment the girls have weighed almost the same weight, if not the exact same. They have also always been right at the same height. It's crazy since they are fraternal twins and are SOOO different in every way. Well, here are their 3 year stats:
33 lbs
36 inches tall
Yep, that's right. They were EXACTLY the same height and weight. Isn't that nuts?!?!? The doctor said they looked great and were very healthy. Their weight was in the 65th percentile and their height was in the 70th percentile. I still can't believe they are doing so well on the growth chart considering how early and tiny they were when they were born. We are so thankful the Lord has allowed them to grow so well and be so healthy during the past 3 years. Gabbie is still on a daily asthma medicine and Jocelyn has to use the nebulizer on a semi-regular basis especially if she has a cold or allergy issues. The doctor said in a month or so we could try Gabbie off the daily medicine and see how she does. We are hoping and praying she will grow out of the asthma issues. Their doctor said that is possible. We shall see.

In honor of the breathing treatments, here are a couple of pics. They currently are loving random headgear... i.e.....sunglasses....
princess crowns.....



The following pics have nothing to do with their doctor's appointment...they were just cute, so I thought I'd share :)

Here they are having a picnic with their babies.
What's for lunch??? Sand, of course :)



They are hilarious.
