Well it's been a long time coming but we finally took the time this weekend to measure our kids. I used to go monthly to the pediatrician to have them both weighed and checked in height, but it just became too much of a hassle. They are both finally old enough that they can just stand on the scale by themselves, and tonight we had them stand up against the wall and took their height measurement that way. They both thought it was so cool that we were writing on the wall, hopefully no one got any ideas. I remember growing up and having a wall in our house in the basement that Dad would take us down and measure our height from time to time and it was always to fun to go down there and get measured and see how much we had grown since the last time, or how much taller we were than each other, and tonight I got to do that with my kids and it was very special to me.
Oh yeah, and I don't know when it happened, but sometime between this weigh in and the last, which was back in August '08 (right around Mav's first birthday) he has officially outgrown his sister in weight. In fact, he has her beat by TWO whole pounds.
Here are the stats:
Maverick is 28 lbs and 31.5 inches tall
Tula is 26 lbs and 34.5 inches tall
