What do they weigh?

Well, the girls went for a checkup today. There has been some debate on who weighs more and by how much. The official word is: Amelia 10lbs 13ozs and Baylee 10lbs 12ozs. They are only 1 ounce apart now. They are in the 20th percentile for weight, so the doctor wants us to stay on the higher calorie formula until they are 4 months old, which is in a month. I can't believe it. She also wants us to start cereal on their 4 month birthday, mom already has some in the house. They seem to get enough now with the extra calories so we are waiting on the cereal until they are off that formula. The girls loved the doctor today, they smiled and cooed to her. She was impressed with the way they have grown and is happy the jitters have slowed down. I also asked which kind of thyroid problem they had and she said it was hypothyroidism. Our doc and the pediatric endocrinologist (spelt wrong) think that we will be able to get the girls off when they are 2-3 years old, there is a chance they may have to take the tiny pill once a day for the rest of their lives. The down side is we have to bring them to Children's for blood tests every two weeks for the next three months, to make sure they are not having too much in their systems. Poor Baylee is a bad stick like her mom. Otherwise, all is good with the girls. They are healthy and very happy babies. Amelia likes to look in the mirror and laugh or talk to herself. Baylee loves to be sung to or read to. They both enjoy sitting in their bumbo seats and squishing some paper cracking toys my sister Julie gave them. They also love to stick out their tongues and have started to suck on their hands and thumbs (no matter how mom tries to replace the thumb with a nuk). My favorite thing they do now is turn towards each other and laugh, I can't help but wonder if they are laughing at me or planning an attack. :) No photos, mom couldn't find the battery charger :(
