We so enjoyed the girls when you were back, and I wouldn't worry about the percentiles too much....my kids were always high on the height and low on the weight...thus the tall skinny kids and hubby I have! I would bet that Molly will trim down a little (not that she really needs to) the faster she crawls and runs and climbs to keep up with her sister and to get her hands on all the "good" stuff you have put out of her reach! Lots of Love! I have been meaning to comment for awhile on this post, but haven’t gotten around to it.

My friend Renee posted a picture of some knee guards on her blog the other day. They'd be good for Moms who don't want their crawler's knees getting all torn up while playing outside. My kids survived without them, but I am sure anxious for Isaiah to walk so that he'll quit crawling through everything. As for your check-up, your PA was right--you ARE doing a good job! It was hard for me to belive that when Morgan was 2 1/2, Maddie was 1 1/2, and Noah was a newborn. I felt like no one got the quality time that they were entitled to, and just when I thought they might be getting that quality time, I decided that it was time for another sibling and--wham--we start all over again. Then it occured to me that my earliest worth-while memories begin at age 13 or so. This must be true for my kids, too!? Isaiah went in for his one year well-child visit and the baby scale said 15 lbs. Since we knew this to be wrong (my back knows it to be wrong), we weighed him on the adult scale, which yielded a neat 20 lbs, 2 oz so in the 10th %. He's 30 inches tall, which lands him in the 50th %. Phooey on percentiles! Hope you are feeling well! …then comes the baby-proofing that even Mom and Dad can’t get past!

She looked great. Good luck keeping up with two, now! Can you imagine how blessed your life will be one year from now? ;) I thought Molly looked so happy and healthy when we saw her two weeks ago, so to my eye, she didn’t look “lopsided” at all as far as the percentages go.
