I took both boys in for check-ups yesterday. Alex had his 6 year old check-up and Darek had his 9 month old one.

Alex is doing just perfectly! He is exactly 4 ft tall, which is the average size of a 7 year old. And the doctor did the numbers for his body mass as well. At 3 years old, Alex was just under being over weight. (He was quite the chunky little guy :) Now his BMI is perfect! He is exactly where he should be with his weight and height. So I was very grateful for that. I didn't want to be chewed out by the pediatrician about my kid being overweight!

Darek is also doing better. He had stopped gaining weight for a little while, but he had been sick. So now that he has been over most of the sickness, I had hoped he'd gained a little more weight. He did! He now weighs 13 lbs. 14 oz. and is 25 3/4 long. He is still not on the charts for anything for when he was born. If he had been born when he was supposed to, he would be at 50% for height and only 10-20% for weight. So even for when he was supposed to be born, he still is very tiny. But he is growing and he is doing new things. Showing progress is always a good thing.
