Weight / Length:
Kendall: 38.78 inches tall (23rd percentile), 28 lbs 10 oz (3rd percentile), BMI was around 2nd or 3rd percentile
Eating: They are still not hefty eaters but they do okay. They eat better when it's their favorite food. We asked about their eating habits and were told to just keep giving options but not make eating a negative experience. Just keep exposing them and eventually they'll like more food (hopefully).
Seren: 39.84 inches tall (45th percentile), 31 lbs 15 oz (20th percentile), BMI was around 15th percentile

Milestones/Development: They are on target with everything developmentally. They are excited to start preschool and I'm excited for them to learn new things and new ways of learning as well as meeting new kids and friends.
Sleep: They are awesome little sleepers. They sleep 8 pm to 7-7:30 am and don't have trouble sleeping through the night. They tell us about their dreams a lot more lately and it's fun to hear about their imaginations working.
Fun Memories (Outings/Events): We enjoyed movies at the park this past year, Jeff took them on hikes and nature walks, We enjoyed a trip to Zions National Park and loved all the hikes and walks there. They loved going to the zoo this past year and seeing the animals. They liked the park and pool. They talk often about going to the zoo and getting out the pool when it's warm again. They were excited for Nolan to join our family. Seren was a little more eager and Kendall a little more reserved about him at first but they've both mellowed into the middle ground of being helpful enough but not overbearing. Nolan adores them and loves to watch them and interact with them.
Challenges: They are finding more independence from us and from each other. It's good for them but a struggle also. They play well together mostly but get into more arguments and fights about who's in charge and toy sharing. Kendall does much better socially than she used to but she still struggles a little bit with warming up to people and feeling social at times. She has a slightly harder time emotionally also and gets her feelings hurt fairly easily. Seren used to be very bossy and pushy with Kendall. She has improved with this but can still be a bit of a bully and instigator in aggravating Kendall. Seren seems to struggle a little more with learning letters and numbers. It's mostly a confidence and practice issue. We think she depended a lot on letting Kendall answer or identify letters before and so she is playing catch-up a little in learning them for herself now.
Likes/Dislikes: They like playing pretend together and dress up. They play princess, mommy and various animals. They like riding their big wheel tricycles around the neighborhood. They enjoy playing on the swing set in the back yard. They don't always listen as well lately but are still very well behaved. We are trying to teach them responsibilities and chores. They are excited to help put their dishes away and help cook when they can.
Looking Forward to: Looking forward to summer activities. They want to play in the pool and go to the parks and just be outside. We are looking forward to movies in the park again and a trip to the petting zoo in Pleasant Grove in April. We are also planning to visit my parents in Florida this summer. We haven't told the girls yet although we slip up but I don't think they know or understand. We're going to fly this time and I hope that they enjoy flying and don't freak out. They will be doing in class preschool 2-days a week as well as online preschool through the state 5 days a week. I'm excited for both and hope especially that they will enjoy the in class preschool and new kids to interact with.
*I'm hoping to take pictures of them soon. I've been neglectful of taking nice pictures with my good camera so that is my goal to do soon*
