60, 30, 2

What a day last Thursday was!  Remind me to not schedule three well check visits in the same day again!  Especially since the pediatrician's policy is only two kids per appointment; that meant we were there in the morning and back again that afternoon.  So happy 5yr checkup to Ryan, 2 1/2yrs to Abby, and 2months to Chloe!  Here's how they compare:

Ryan weighed in at 43 lbs and 42.5 ins tall.  That's right about 50th percentile in both categories.  If you believe the growth charts that'll put him at about 5'10" and 175 lbs.  [of course last year he was going to be 6' when he grew up, he's losing height compared to his peers I guess. whatever.]

Abby weighed in at 28 lbs and 36 ins tall [and that's barefoot so plenty tall enough to have ridden the blankety blank dragons at the fair a couple of weeks ago, not that I'm bitter or anything.].  She's also right about 50th percentile.  Her charts don't predict future growth; I don't think that starts until three.

Chloe weighed in at 11lbs 5ozs and 23ins tall.  Her head circumference is 15.2"  Believe it or not, her head is just below the 50th percentile [how is that possible?!].  Her length is a dot above 50th and her weight is right at 50th percentile [although unfortunately she's lost quite a bit since then thanks to RSV and bronchiolitis, boo].

Creation according to Abby

Ever since Sunday, Abby has been "reading" her books in the car :  "And the next day, it was soo dark."  Over and over again in her super cute Abby voice.  We know they talked about Creation at church and they are working on a memory verse from Genesis.  And we know that Abby is a parrot and if something gets stuck in her head, she'll repeat it endlessly, even if it's not exactly correct.  So I suppose this was Abby's take away from church this week.  "And the next day, it was soooo dark!"
