Update

Lily and Evie had their 3 and 1 year well visits yesterday at the pediatrician.  He is very impressed with both of their development especially how smart Lily is (she knows almost all of her letters!) and Evie's language (she says around 10 words!).  

Here are the weight and height stats:
Lily:
Weight: 26lbs (7 %tile)
Height: 35.75in (21 %tile)
So she has going up a few percentiles for weight and a bunch for height.  I knew that she had gotten a lot taller though because all of her pants are too short!

Evie:
Weight: 17.34lbs (3 %tile)
Height 29in (41 %tile)
Head Circumference; 17.25in (14 %tile)
So she has gotten A LOT taller!  Sean and I both thought she was going to weigh a bit more because of how much she eats but I think because she has gotten so tall and is crawling so much she doesn't hold on the weight.

Lily has been potty trained for a few months now.  She is still in diapers for naps and nighttime partly just because I don't feel like doing a bunch of laundry if she has accidents.  She is doing great during the day and can even "hold it" if we are somewhere that she can't go immediately like in the car.  

She loves puzzles and letters.  She knows almost all of her letters and even some of their sounds.  She has also started writing a little bit and wrote her name for the first time the other day.  Of course it was on a dry erase board so I couldn't save it so I will have to get her to write it on some paper soon so I can have it in her memory box.

Evie started crawling in October and is now really close to walking.  She will "cruise" around furniture and walks while holding onto our hands.  She got a walker toy from my parents for Christmas yesterday and has been walking all around the house with it this morning. 

She also got her first teeth (yes multiple) this week.  It has taken her so long to get her first ones that I have a feeling that she is going to have a mouthful of them by the new year.

Evie is starting to say so many words and gets so happy when she says something and we understand it.  Normally the doctor wants kids her age to have one or two words and she has over 10!  She says the normal ones like "mama" "dada" "Lil" "doggy" "up" "uh-oh", but she also has ones that many kids don't learn till much later such as "no" and "mine".  Can you tell she has a big sister that might say those words a lot?
