It's In the Genes

Megan and Miranda had their yearly well-child checkup today. They look great, and are right on for developmental milestones. Although, personally, I still think they are a bit ahead in the verbal department...

Megan is in the 80%-ile for her height, and in the same percentile for her weight. So, she's tall and well-proportioned. That's pretty cool, but I wish (even more!) that she would be starting Kindergarten this fall... that way she won't be the tallest, oldest kid in her class. Still, she does so well with others, I know she'll be great wherever she lands!

Miranda also got her stats: She is 35.25 inches tall, and both her height and weight put her into the 80%-ile. So, she's also tall and well-proportioned. If you take a child's height at 2 years of age and double it, that is supposed to be the height when they reach adulthood. Miranda will be close to 6' tall! (OK, so I guess she'll be 5' 11").

I cannot remember what Zoë was, I'll have to check when I take her back in... But, I know that each child seems to be slightly taller than the one before. Megan was 34.75" at 2 years, meaning she'll be close to 5' 10" tall. I wonder how tall Veronica will be? Will she reach the six foot mark? I wonder if maybe all of them will get there....

So, the girls got their height from their dad. I guess they get the "well-proportioned" from their mom. That's not a bad combination.

I wonder what other traits they inherited...
