Back on the 23rd of February, I took the boys for thier 18month and 3yr check ups. Both are doing really well in thier gross and fine motor development, language skills, social development and nutrition. Nathan has even made it to the 49th percentile on his weight, which is a MAJOR achievement! His picky-eating stage had been quite the battle, but I am so happy, relieved and at ease to say it's OVER! He eats and tries nearly everything now! My former "Hunk-of-Chunk" Nicholas, on the other hand is starting to display his picky eating habits and thinning out a bit as he grows taller. Stats are:
NICHOLAS - 18m | NATHAN - 3yr
WEIGHT.............27lbs 4oz (60%) WEIGHT..........32lbs (49%)
HEIGHT..............35" (94%) HEIGHT..........38" (56%)
CLOTHING..........2T CLOTHING.......3T
SHOE SIZE........7.5 SHOE SIZE....9.5
They are nearly the same size! I would have never imagined such a thing so soon with them being 18 months apart. Nick seems to be a "bigger" kid for his age and while Nathan started out in high percentiles as well...he's definitely averaged out a lot. Over the trials with his eating habits and sporadic illnesses, I've always wondered if it was hindering his growth/development...but I suppose it was mostly Mommy jitters. He's super smart and quite the kid! His daycare teachers have recently told me that he already knows "everything" they are teaching in class. (Colors, numbers, letters, Sounds, Animals, Early Handwriting, etc.) I felt really great about that. I guess I haven't done too shabby of a job with them at home! They're lots of work, but I'm glad their my "work" to have! ...and now for a few FAVS:
