Okay, so I took Lainie in for her 6 month checkup when she was 7 months old. I'm usually on top of things like this, but it took awhile to find a doctor after the move. Anyway, all this time I'm thinking that she is so cute and chubby. She weighed in at 13 lbs. 11 oz. and is 26 1/2 inches long and I thought that was great until the doctor comes in and tells me she is only in the 3rd percentile for weight. So, I feel like I'm the crappiest mom alive. She eats all the time. So the doc tells me to feed her more cereal with her fruit and veggie baby food and more formula and to come back in a month for a weight check. So now, we are just shoveling in the food and keeping our fingers crossed that she gains weight. She is just so petite that I thought this is normal for girls. Other than being a light weight, she's doing great. She can sit up all by herself and rolls and scoots everywhere. So, developmentally she is GREAT! Just little. Wish I could say the same for me. :) Oh, she got her very first tooth this past week.Anyway...
So the same day I took Logan in for his 3 year checkup. Total opposite end of the spectrum. He weighed in at 36lbs. (95th percentile). He's doing good!!! No worries about getting him to eat. He is not fat by any means, just real stocky and sturdy. The kid is going to make a great football player!!! He loves anything dealing with a ball or sports.
Our sweet Logan! I LOVE this kid, he is such a fun little boy!!!

What cute pictures! I can't believe they are getting so old! We sure miss you! Did you find a good doctor?
Oh my goodness, Lanie looks so cute! I love that bow and outfit! Rachel is small too. She had only gained 13oz at her 4 month. I am really trying to get her started on the cereal so she can gain a little. Isn't it funny how we our supposed to make sure our babies put on the weight, and then we spend most of our lives trying to take it off!?
I can't believe she is already 7 Months!! She looks so beautiful! And My thought on her weight is...Don't worry! As long as she is growing and changing and following her own pattern of growth she is FINE!! Doctors like to freak us out! Brody was 95% for height and weight. The doctor said to watch what he eats. Freaked me out. Then I decide. They match. That's good!! If it was 10% for height and 95% for weight THEN I will watch what he eats!!
Your a great mom Julie! You can tell by your happy kids! Don't stress!! Miss ya!
