At their 1-month doctor's appointment, Meredith weighed in at 8 lbs 13 oz and Adeline is up to 8 lbs 11 oz. That puts them in the 50th percentile for weight, and they are also in the same for length (they've each gained 2 inches!) and head circumference. This is quite an increase: at 1-week they were in the 10th percentile for weight. It'll be interesting to see if they were just making up for being crowded in utero or are going to keep gaining on the rest of the population.
We're interested to know if their heights will take after me or Dave, but I doubt I was ever in the 50th percentile for any size, so maybe that means they'll be tall? I'm pretty much resigned to ending up the shortest one in the family anyway.
And they've moved out of the newborn diapers, both in disposable and cloth. They swim in the new size, since they will go up to 16 pounds, but the old ones were getting pretty tight. So our little girls are no longer newborns by that definition.
