Re: Was wondering
According to my paed, up until the age of two you always look at the adjusted age when monitoring their milestones. In some cases , the baby may be so underdeveloped that they never "catch up" sizewise - ie their growth is stunted in the womb . I think this is the case with my daughter. She only weighed 1.4kg at birth even though born at 34 weeks she was the size of a 29 week old baby (my son weighed 2.32kg - which is normal for 34 weeks) They are now 21 months and Grace is very tiny for her "age" - does not even weigh 10kg, whereas Michael is over 12kg which is fairly normal for a baby his age.

mm Ilze I think mine are pretty well adjusted - although that said - they are totally different so they will be strong in different areas if you hear what I am saying. Noah does have a pretty weak immune system though so he maybe be lagging a bit behind in that area.

Rachel weighed 300gr less at birth but they are about the same weight now. Their weight and length increased from below the 3d centile at birth, to on the 25th for their actual age and just below the 50th for their adjusted age. However, their curve is stable now so they won't ever be on the 50th for their actual age - but I think that is just in their genes as D is also below the 50th. They were born at 34 weeks too.

Re: Was wondering
Weight wise mine is also below their normal age they are still wearing 6-12 months clothes, the pants 12-18 months is way to big for them.
Milestone in some departments they are way ahead in,some they are on target for their ajusted age. I do think in small things they are a bit behind but I also think it differs from child to child. But we don't have problem at all, they are developing very well.
Walked at 13 months, starting to talk very well now and repeat what you say and Montinique starting very slow to make sentences but they use the words where it is suppose to be use and understand VERY well
