unofficial growth check
Posted by kyden on Friday Jan 22, 2010 Under Uncategorized
everyone has been saying that i’m thinning out. at first, i thought they were just talking about my hair, which is definitely getting thinner. but mommy says i’m getting skinnier, too. i guess my daily workout routine (dancing, crawling in place, and core strengthening in the cheater chair) is paying off.
now don’t be mistaken, i am still a chunky monkey. but instead of 4 chins, i now only have 2. and mommy used to say that i could smuggle contraband in my neck rolls. i still can. but instead of nuclear warheads, i can now only fit a dimebag or two.
to see just how much i’m growing (and because i no longer have monthly doctor’s appointments), daddy went out and bought me a digital scale. i guess he doesn’t trust the wii fit. or maybe he just got tired of it telling him that he is overweight. anyway, daddy tested out the new scale by stepping on it while holding me. he said that i must weigh 25 pounds because the scale read 25 pounds more than he thought he weighed. that’s funny, cuz when mommy weighed me today, she said i weigh 15 pounds (62 %ile). at my last doctor visit i was 75 %ile for weight, so i guess everyone’s right — i am thinning out.
we didn’t measure my length but i must be getting really tall. for one thing, i am getting too long for the changing table in my pack ‘n play. mommy and daddy don’t know what they’re gonna do! and for another thing, i used to be the size of koda’s head, but now i am way taller than him. it’s obvious from the photo that he only comes up to my shoulders when we lay down side by side

HAHAHAHA, poor Mike.
I want to say this is the cutest post ever, but I can’t be sure cuz I was totally delighted reading the earlier posts, too. Nuclear warheads and dimebags! Koda comparison! Priceless!

I don’t know…your mommy may have me beat. She’s got more interesting topics, too.
