Growth

I hadn't thought about it until today, but lil Miss Emma has grown in length!  I know I said it in jest on here when sitting with Christina a few days ago, but seriously, she has grown 1.75" in 3 months!!!  When we came home she fit into 24 month head to toe outfits, and even a month or so ago she was fitting in the 24 mos one-piece outfits that are sleeveless little rompers.  Today I put one on her and although it buttoned fine, a few min later I noticed that it just wasn't sitting right.  In fact, it looks a little small!  I measured her and she is 33.5" long!  She was not quite 32" when we were measuring her in Ukraine for clothes.  Wow!  I really wasn't expecting such a quick growth of bones.  Body fat and body mass is one thing... she's gained 3.5 lbs in the past 3 months as well (started at 17.5 and is now around 21 lbs) but bone growth?  Seriously? 

Micah's sleeping but I'll be attacking him with a measuring tape soon.  I know he was around 11 lbs coming home and is now well over 18 :)  He's not my little scrawny man anymore!!

  1. Great she's growing to look more the size for a five year old. Great the community support with all those people in hot costumes to let the kids enjoy them. Nice photos. We moved D and E Fri and Sat and they mowed here today. Love, Mom
