Big

I have big kids. Bigger than 97% of the population apparently! This morning was the girls' big doctor check ups. It went really well. Both of them were super well behaved (hooray) we didn't so much as get asked when we were planning on vaccinating.....and for sure didn't get any lectures on the virtues of vaccinations and how our kids need an advocate (like the doc is gonna come and take care of either of my kids if there are any adverse reactions to vaccinating pffttt) and we were in and out in record time....considering I had to go alone with both girls and each had to be undressed and then dressed. Good visit indeed.

So, here are the stats for each.....drumroll please.......

Maddie-
Height: 39 1/4 inches >97% percentile
Weight: 36 pounds >97% percentile
Head: 49 cm 75% percentile

Charlotte-
Height: 30 inches >97% percentile
Weight: 21 pounds 95% percentile
Head: 43 cm 25% percentile

Comparison stats only go to 97% which means that both of my girls are off the charts for their height.....significantly! Maddie was off the chart for her weight again.....significantly, although she is in perfect proportion when you add her height and weight together.....so neither of them are overweight......just tall, solid girls!!!

We got the green light to feed Charlotte anything we want with exception to nuts, honey, strawberries, citrus fruit and any other no-no foods that she needs to wait until 18 months or whatever for. We also have to wait on the cows milk until Charlotte is 11 months old.....which is only a little over 2 months away, so hopefully not too much longer with the constipation! Hooray! Maddie is doing fine and the doc didn't seem to think it was a problem that we push potty training off until this spring/summer if necessary. She's just not ready, and I'm not interested in battling over it. I feel good about my kids' growth and the positive doctor appointments today. Yeah.

And just a little comparison for ya......
Maddie at 9 months: 30 inches tall & 22 pounds 10 ounces.
So Maddie and Charlotte are the same height at 9 months, but Maddie was almost 2 pounds heavier. WOW!!

My BIG girls!!
