Holy growth spurts, Batman!

Both kids have grown about 3 inches in the last 11 months!

Yes, it's been that much in not quite a year, even - from last Aug. 5 to today.

Levynn actually reached one milestone, surpassing 4 feet, and probably would have weighed 50 pounds, too, had she finished her Angus beef sliders at Ditka's a couple of hours earlier. As it is, she weighed 49.25 pounds, up from 44, and she had grown to 48.5 inches from 45.75.

Lincoln, poor boy, was vomiting much of last night and so his weight truly was not right today. Bad day for a checkup, and right after his birthday, no less! He was only 41.75 pounds - he was 40 last year - but he has weighed more like 45 on our scale. In much better news, he had grown to 44.5 inches from 41.
