Mazzie and Corvin Watch 2009

This Thursday Mazzie and Corvin went to the doctor for their 2 week appointment (they'll be 3 weeks old tomorrow). These were their measurements as of Thursday:

Corvin
Height: 20 3/4" 75th percentile (for boys)
Weight: 6lbs 8oz 10th percentile (for boys)

Mazzie
Height: 20 1/2" 75th percentile (for girls)
Weight: 6lbs 7oz 10th percentile (for girls)

As you can see, Mazzie and Corvin are very close in size and long and lean relative to other babies. If you haven't dealt with percentiles in a while, as a reminder, this means that 75% of babies are shorter than Corvin and Mazzie and 90% of babies weigh more than them. This compares them to all babies - regardless of gestational age at birth and whether or not they are twins.

I'm enjoying watching their little faces and limbs plump up day by day. I'm also noticing a lot more sustained eye contact and they just seem to be becoming babies rather than newborns before my eyes.

Corvin is the nonstop action baby and Mazzie is very feminine. Corvin seems to be awake more than asleep and moving constantly in his sleep as well, while Mazzie's little cries and coos are so feminine that it amazes me. Sweet babies...

By the way, Corvin's jaundice has completely resolved and I just found out that jaundice is very common in Colorado due to elevation.

Hello world, I'm Mazzie.
