Still a Runt

Today Leona went to the doctor for her 2 year old check up. She checks out nicely, coming in at the following numbers:
Height: 34" (50th percentile)
Weight: 23lbs 3oz (10th percentile)
Head Cir.: 45.8cm (10th percentile)
So, she's still a runt, but consistently so, so it's okay.She didn't have to get any vaccines, which was a good thing since she freaked out just getting her height and weight checked. Yes, those are tears in her eyes in the above picture, she really isn't a very big fan of doctors.

We kept her birthday pretty low key. With Dan holed up in our home studying for the bar, the kids and I escaped to Klamath Falls for a few weeks, so we had her party there.

Calvin, Jonny & Emme were (mostly) happy to be in attendance.

and anxious to help unwrap presents.

Overall, she scored nicely with a new tricycle, a Dora helmet, some puzzles, books, clothes, jewelry and Emme made her a burp cloth to go with a doll she picked out for her.

Dinner was full of favorites, including corn on the cob, bbq hot dogs, watermelon

and of course Angelfood cupcakes with whipped cream and raspberries (okay, so that's my favorite not hers, but she'll eat anything sweet).

After all the festivites, we retired to the tent we are camping in, in my grandma's backyardwhere she promptly passed out.

4 Months

(Sorry if you already saw this picture on my other blog)

This fuzzy headed little guy is now 4 months old. We had his check up yesterday and he is pacing along at a perfectly normal rate. In fact, the doctor says that she rarely sees such a consistently even growth chart... he's got a straight line going right up the 50th percentile for his weight and the 55th for his height. I guess his "perfect" growth goes hand in hand with his perfectly happy temperament. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better baby. He sleeps all night long and smiles the whole day through. He barely even cried when he got his shots then went right back to giving the doctor smiles. Anyway, enough bragging, here are his numbers in case you're interested:

Height: 25.2 inches 55%
Weight: 14lbs 15.6oz 50%
Head: 42cm 45%

I was looking back at the other kids' 4 month numbers and I still can't believe how big Calvin was! Here they are for your comparison:

Emme (3 1/2 months)
w: 13lbs 3oz
h: 24 1/2"

Calvin (4 1/2 months)
w: 18lbs 4oz
h: 28"
(At 2 months, he weighed 15lbs 2oz and was 25 1/2" That's bigger than the other 3 at 4 months!)

Leona (4 months)
w: 13lbs 10oz
h: 24.9"

I think it should be interesting to see how things progress. Jonny is such a solid mass he's starting to make Leona seem like a twig. I would guess that (assuming she keeps her growth pattern) by the time he's a year old Jonny will out weigh her.
