Height

Piper was 3 in September.  I tend to measure her more than the other kids to keep track of her growth - she was so small when we brought her home.  I measured her today & she's 35 1/2" tall - according to the (American) growth charts that is the 5%.  She is now in mostly 2T pants (as you can see in the pic below - her GAP 2T's still need to be rolled) and either 2T or 3T tops (depending on the brand).  I looked back at the other kiddo's heights and on his 2nd birthday, Coop was already taller than Piper (35 3/8"), on his 3rd birthday he was a whooping 39 1/4"!  What are your 3 yr olds measuring?

Well, my Joy was 36 inches back in December and she is 4 1/2. Yes, she is tiny. Nothing fits her normally. Her pants are 3T usually, just for length. But, need to be rolled to fit her waist. She eats like a bird, so I cannot expect more!

How's the fitness going? I'm down about 8.2 pounds. But, who's counting?

Max is only 36 inches, and he's a month older than Piper, and a boy! He's built a lot like Piper in general. There both adorable too!

I finally measured the mark on the wall, and Sidney is 33 1/2 inches, and she weighs 21.5 lbs. She is little peanut, but her attitude more than makes up for it!

T was 35 inches at 3.5 yrs old. She is now 38 inches at 4. She and Piper seem to be on just about the sam growth curve. T was just at about 10% for height at 3.5 yrs old, according to the chart my dr uses.

T is in 3T pants now but they will not last long. I think in another month or so we will have to move up to 4T. In shirts she can wear 3T and 4T. 4T is a better fit as she has a long torso and I hate to have her belly hanging out.

Levi will be 3 in June and he is measuring right at 36" and about 28 pounds. I call him my yard stick!! Everyone tells me he is so tall, but he's only at the 25%. I don't know, maybe it's cause he's so skinny!
