growing like a weed...

Still only 29lbs, but she is keeps growing taller and taller as of today she is 38.5 inches -

so looking at the handy growth chart that those doctors love pulling out and showing you, she is not even in the 5th percentile - she is about 1lb and 2inches shy. BUT looking the 95th percentile she is the weight of a 2 year old and the height of a 3 year old.

I don't worry about it. She is more active than any other kid I know and as long as she is healthy, active and has an appetite, I am satisfied. Besides she was just under 5lbs when she was born according to our medical records so I never really expected her to be Sasquatch.

O: do you have to cut the baby one too? M: Yes! O:NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, not the baby one OK? M: I have to, it's really long O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, its my dragon claw. M: I still have to cut it O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, just leave it ok! Leave them all. I can do it. M: how? you don't know how to use the clippers. O: like this! (as she attempts to put her toes in her mouth and act like she biting the nails off) M: that's just wrong....not to mention disgusting. I need to cut them. Please give me your foot. O: (as nervous as be) just wait a minute.....**big sigh**....(gr...
