The Parnell Family: 1 year check up

6.10.2008

1 year check up

Check up went well this afternoon.

Here are their "stats":

Lila 25lbs 2oz and 29 3/4inches
My sweet girl is in the 75% for length and the 95% for weight...(it's ok munchkin!)

Bennett 25lbs 6oz and 30 3/4inches
My little man is in approx the 70% for length and weight.

So, growth wise, they are doing well. Everything else seems to be ok. We will re-evalutate developemental progress again at 15 months. Our Dr. seemed pretty sure that any delays (like them not walking, Bennett not standing unaided, and not too many words said) at this time are most likely due to the fact that they were preemies, and that all will happen on its own time.
So, that was very encouraging!

We are so thankful for our healthy growing babies!

Goodnight!
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.
