Yesterday I brought both kids into the pediatrician for their well child visits....and I know both my kids are tall and skinny... but when you're told that they are 1-2.5 yrs taller than their age...its shocking....here are the status for both kids!
Breyden is 50.5 inches tall (which is off the charts for his age and is as tall as an average 8.5 yr old), 57 lbs (which is in the 95% percentile for his age, but goes with his height), and his BMI which is in the 14-16% percentile
Syd is 38.5 inches tall (which is in the 90% percentile for her age and she is as tall as an 4 yr old), 30 lbs (which is in the 50-70% percentile for her age), and her BMI is 5-10% percentile....there is nothing to her!!!
Both of these are crazy....Breyden has always been off the charts for height since he was 4 months old....the only warning i got about it was to remind people he is not 8 or 9....that he is indeed 6....he gets to have that....and same with Syd....I am giving Breyden 2 max of 3 yrs before he is as tall as me....I guess we will just to have watch and see!
Best part of yesterday (besides to the no shots for either kid) was their doctor stopped me as we were leaving and told me that I do a great job with the kids....its not often that we are told that...or remind of that....there are many times I feel like I am lacking as a mom and not living up to standards I have set for myself....and after a trying week that it has been with the kids and life...it felt great to hear that from another person!!!

Hi Elisa - I NEVER post here because I don't want to intrude - but can't resist this one!
ReplyDeleteFirst, you ARE doing a great job with those babies - they are both healthy and happy, sociable, engaging and fun.
And aren't you amazed at the whole growth thing? Hard to keep the wardrobe fitting at that pace.
I KNOW that B was really happy about the "no shots" part!
Have a great weekend!
