THE WEED
I looked at Alice the other day and realized that her long sleeved shirt was now a 3/4 length sleeve with about an inch of midriff showing and her pants could not be called anything but highwaters. Some of her clothes still fit, but I've been pulling out things I bought for next year, which is probably good since they might not fit next winter! Since church was cancelled today due to bad weather, I instituted Pajama Day, since her jammies are one of the few things that still do fit her.
THE OUTLIER
Myra had her four month appointment on Wednesday and really outdid herself. She is 20lbs and 27.5 inches. Just to give you a little idea of what that means, beyond being completely off the charts--Alice was 21lbs at her 9 month checkup and she was in the 95th percentile for her weight. She was 27.5 inches at her 6 month checkup and was 90th percentile for her height. So weight-wise, Myra is a very large 9 month old.

Wow, that is very weed-like. But early on it is hard to tell. I was short until I was about 13, then I shot up to 5'11, and stopped growing (both of my parents are over 6'0). My brother and sister in law got comments about the height of their kids when they were dating too, because Teresa is about 5'2, and my brother is about 6'6. I always wondered who their kids would favor height wise...now I am starting to figure it out: Elyse is tall and lanky like her Dad. She was around the 75th percentile most of the time, now she is hitting 90 for height. Elyse is 6 now (Bruce should be able to approximate when she was born, I made him look at tons of baby pics)...and Kate is 2. Here are some pics of them from their Christmas: http://ttu.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2203935&l=648ba&id=16735060 . They are quite fun, can't wait until I get to move closer to them, which is going to be quite soon (yay!). Be careful with all the snow and have a great Sabbath!
