In an attempt to make up for my recent vitriol, here are two pictures of the twins taken today, Christmas Eve 2006.
They had their six-month pediatric exam on Friday 22 December, their six-month birthday. They passed with flying colors. Riley weighs 17 lbs 4 ounces, Madeleine weighs 16 lbs 10 ounces. If I remember correctly, they are 26.75 inches and 25.75 inches long respectively. They are squarely in the 50th percentile for height and weight.
I asked my doctor about those percentiles. She told me that the sample for the norm was taken from a group of infants in Ohio. I don't know how many babies or when, but there you have it. How very representative! I'm sure there were tons of half Asian/half Caucasian, breastfed twins in the group. Yeah, right.

Merry Christmas to the four of you : O )
I love how different they look from each other, yet still related. They are beautiful.
I just checked in and saw this post and your last one. I'm so sorry for all the things that are so hard. Sigh.
They are absolutely gorgeous, both of them. Look at what a wonderful mix of both of you they are. Stunning. Love to all of you.
Wow! How did I show up as "claire"?
Wow, your babies are really gorgeous-beautiful eyes! It's hard when they give out the percentile stats and you start to compare..., they are obviously bright, beautiful and healthy babies, you must be so proud.
