Weight Checks, Weight Checks, Weight Checks!

Kate had to go to the doctor this week for a weight check and since Jackson was due for one too, I took them both in yesterday. Kate is now 3 weeks old and Jackson is 3 1/2 years old.

After dropping to 6 pounds 3 ounces, Kate has finally made it back up to and beyond her birth weight of 7 pounds 2 ounces! She now weighs 7 pounds 3 ounces. Yesterday was her fourth visit to the pediatrician since she was born, but now she won't need to go back until her 2-month check-up as long as everything else is going well with her.

Jackson has gained about a pound since his 3-year check-up in March. He now weighs a grand total of 26 1/2 pounds and is just over 3 feet tall! We're not worried about him though. He eats when and what he wants, just not a lot of anything. He has plenty of energy and is doing great, so I guess that's just the way he is! He is still gaining and following his own curve (around the first percentile), so the doctor isn't concerned. He'll go back for another check-up when he's four.

Kate looks so much like Jackson! She is soooooo pretty! I'm proud of Jackson for gaining a pound! And proud of Kate for her weight gain too. Hope you can come to lunch with us!
