A market correction (so to speak)

The kids visited their pediatrician today for two milestone checkups - Levynn's four-year and Lincoln's one-year - and all went well.

One surprise did emerge, though: Lincoln gained only 6 ounces in three months! He weighed just 21 pounds, 8 ounces (although Dad's back says otherwise), but he had grown more than an inch to 31. Of course, that just means he's thinning out like the rest of us!

Levynn remains on the same petite curve. She weighed 33 pounds - 5 more than a year ago - and had grown 3 inches to 39 1/4.

The pediatrician gave us the official OK to start weaning Lincoln from the bottle. He already had been drinking water from a cup. So we just need to get him on milk.
