The Parnell Family: 9 month check-up

9 month check-up

Above pics of the twins dressed and ready to go see Dr. Mikell!
Mrs. Peggy Stogner monogrammed their shirts (http://mysweetpeanut.blogspot.com/)- I think they are so cute. Thanks Mrs. Peggy and Casey!!!

So, here are the stats:
Lila is 22lb 3oz and 28 1/4inches (95%)
Bennett is 22lb 10oz and 29 3/4inches (94%)

So, they started big and have remained big! Dr. Mikell said they are doing great!
Although, we did learn the Lila apparently has a very high pain threshold. Both of her ears were very infected and she had not given me any clue! She has been sleeping, eating, and very content...I would have never known if it weren't for the check-up!

Hope this finds everyone doing well!
Love, Nicole

Elise

Elise Laurent was born at 5:00 p.m. on July 19, 2005. We did not find out her sex during my pregnancy and we were thrilled to tears (and slightly shocked) to meet our beautiful baby girl. She was a big baby at 8lbs, 8oz, and David and I couldn't take our eyes off of her. Elise is an old French name that David and I have always loved. Laurent is both my paternal Grandfather's name and my Dad's middle name. We always dreamed of having a daughter and were so thankful and overwhelmed to be given such a blessing.
Elise is a true first born. She likes structure, likes to fully understand everything, likes her questions answered to her satisfaction. She loves to be challenged and to challenge. She is also highly sensitive and independent.
She is a wonderful big sister to Lila and Bennett....

Lila and Bennett

It would be an understatement to say that we were shocked to learn on November 11, 2006 that we were not expecting baby #2, but baby #2 and #3!! In just shy of two years we would have created quite a family!
But, on June 1st, 2007, at 36 weeks exactly, we were thrilled and completely overcome with joy and gratitude as we welcomed two big, healthy babies into our family. First, Lila Sue, named after my Mom at 7lbs 0.6oz, and secondly, Bennett Raymond, named after David, David's Dad, and my maternal Grandfather, at 7lbs 10.4oz.
Lila has been the vocal one from the start and to this day is still pretty much running the show. She is the life of the party, the entertainer. But she is also the most compassionate, most giving of our children.
Bennett is a true boy. He is active and rough and loves to tackle and throw. He also adores his sisters and his Dad and gives the best hugs around. His big baby blues get me every time.
