We had our nine month visit to the pediatrician today. It went well. She was very happy with their developmental milestones and said she expected two of the babies to be walking by the time she saw us again in three months.
Lucia weighed 17 1/2 pounds today, 75th percentile of 34-week gestation females.
Her length was 26 inches, also 75th percentile for 34-week gestation females.
Elliott weighed 18 pounds, 75th percentile for 34-week gestation males.
His length was 27 inches, 100th percentile for 34-week gestation males.
Mazie weighed 16 pounds and one ounce, 50th percentile for 34-week gestation females.
Her length was 26 1/2 inches, 75th percentile for 34-week gestation females.
Our doctor looked Elliott's weight and height on the full-term scales for male babies. I was surprised how much his percentiles dropped when he was compared to full-term babies. His weight and height are at the 10th percentile for full-term nine month old boys. She said the girls would be about the same on the full-term scale for nine month old girls, except Maize's weight would put her at a lower percentile.
