Triple the Fun

No Way to Start the New Year

I was so excited to get the kids back in school today, but wouldn't you know it, they're all sick. So instead of my precious 2 1/2 hours of freedom, I got to take all three (with Alex) to the dr.'s. With them sick, they weren't able to get their annual check up and shots, but here are their numbers:

Malena
36 1/2 lbs
38"

Joshua
32 1/2 lbs
40 1/4"

Jacob
35 1/2 lbs
41 1/4"

I'm really not too sure about Malena's height, as we measured her at home last month, and she wasn't even 36" when we went to Disneyland, but the weight is right. I think I'll measure her height again.

So, that puts Malena in the 62nd percentile for weight and 14th percentile for height. That's actually not that bad. First of all, she's ON the typical growth chart (not the Down syndrome chart where she'd be 95th percentile weight and height). If I remember correctly, last year, she was in the 95th percentile weight and 10th percentile height. But, as I said, I'm not too sure about the height measurement. She is growing well, though. :)

Our little Joshua is then in the 19th percentile for weight, and 47th percentile for height. He has really been growing since his heart surgery almost two years ago, and also from his testicular surgery this past year (though I don't know why that would matter). He's our little guy, but catching up. Remember, he's "tiny, but mighty."

Big Jake is 46th percentile for weight, and 70th percentile for height. He's our big guy, and I'm sure with his attitude about eating fruits and veggies, will surely be as tall as Daddy. :)

Who'd have guessed my little premie four pounders would grow to be such big little men and little lady? :) LOL

BTW, the boys had slight ear infections and have been on antibiotics and all are recovering. THEY WILL BE BACK TO SCHOOL ON MONDAY (I can hope, can't I?)
