The boys grew very rapidly in their first year. The doctor’s office allowed us to stop by each month for official weights and measurements, and the results were always amazing. Starting around 6 lbs, the boys quadrupled their weight to over 24 lbs in just their first 12 months. Their height increased from around 20 inches at birth to over 31 inches by their first birthday. The twins were consistently ranked above average in weight and exceptionally tall for their age. In the coming year they will continue to grow, but at a slower rate. Skills, rather than size, will dominate their rapid development. Because we anticipate their total growth next year to be about 6 inches and 6 lbs, we’ve decided to schedule doctor’s office weights and measurements quarterly, rather than monthly.
