Statistics

All 3 boys had doctor's appointments this last week. The appointments went well, though the boys judged me harshly when I held them down for shots. I could see the betrayal in their tiny eyes. "Why mommy, why!?" Luckily the two older boys don't have to go back for a year. They will have forgotten by then.
Adam looked great. The doc was happy. Levi is a lizard. My poor baby has to be soaked in water a couple of times everyday and then lotioned to death to try to keep his skin on him. The doctor was interested in Caleb's ear hole. He's had it his whole life. We have an appointment with an ear nose and throat specialist on Monday to see if it needs to be closed up yet.

It had been a while for the older 2 so it was kind of fun to see their growth. And now, I will share it with anyone who cares. If you don't... what are you? heartless? Have you seen how cute my kids are?!
Ahem...

Moving on...

Levi:
Weighs 12 pounds which puts him in the 22%
Is exactly 2 feet, which puts him in the 54%
Does anyone care about his head size? This is the most boring category to me. Nevertheless, here it is: 16" which makes him 35%

Summary: Levi is average height, but skinny. Though he had an alien head, it is not big.

Caleb:
Weighs 31 pounds, which is the 50%
Is 3'3", which is 80%
BMI (This is a super cool category that I just found at Kaiser. They never did it at their old doctor's office.) Because he is tall and only medium weight he is in the 9%.

Summary: Caleb is actually skinny for his height. Go figure.

Adam:
Weighs 32 pounds, (only one more than Caleb) which is the 20%
is 3'5", which is the 66%
BMI (ready for this?) is in the 1%. That's right. 99% of children his height weigh more than him

Summary: Even though Poptarts are 9 points in Weight Watchers, I am not a bad mom for feeding them to my kids. Adam is proof that maybe a little fattening up wouldn't hurt!

What I wouldn't give to be in the 1% for my BMI! Or even the 9% for that matter! And Caleb buddy, it looks like you may be able to continue to eat enough for you plus your entire extended family and still stay a little guy (with cute pudgey cheeks of course!)
