The appointment went very well. They each received 2 shots - 1 in each arm. It was pitiful because Addison was crying so hard after her shots, and kept looking at the door and saying "bye bye" in between breaths. Luckily the shots were at the end of the appointment, so we were able to leave right then.
The doctor was very pleased with their development in all areas! She also gave us the OK to for them to try some fish (but no shellfish just yet) and peanut butter!
We are going to try weaning them off of Zantac, and she said we pretty much just have to play around with the dosages to see if they need less or none at all. I think we will try skipping their morning doses but keep their night doses for awhile, then try taking those away also. We are also going to keep Addison on soy milk until around 18 months, then try to transition her to whole milk again. She is also going to stay on Mirilax for now, and the doctor said when we transition her to whole milk, she may not need the Mirilax anymore. Until then, we'll keep giving it to her.
They are both staying pretty consistent with their growth on the growth chart. Addison was down percentile-wise since her 12 month checkup, but the doctor said that was to be expected with how mobile she's become.
Here are their stats:
Addison - 20 lb 9 oz (10th %)
30.5 inches (40th-50th %)
Head - 18 inches
Fischer - 20 lb 5 oz (below 5th %)
31.25 inches (40th-50th %)
Head - 18.5 inches
At their 12 month appointment, Fischer was over 1.5 pounds lighter than Addison.... he has gained 2 pounds since that appointment, and Addison has gained only 10 ounces. By 18 months he might just weigh more than her, which would be the first time ever!
We are so thankful to have such healthy babies!
