5 Year Stats-She's above average!
It is hard to imagine that 5 years have gone by since Alette was a newborn baby. We trecked to the doctor every month or so, she was constantly weighed, measured, poked, prodded...Now, a month after she turned five, I finally remembered to make an appointment.
Since birth Alette has been at the 50th percentile for height-despite having 6ft tall mom and a slightly taller dad. Most of the time, her weight was in the same percentile-in other words, a perfectly average daughter. No longer. Suddenly she has shot up to the 90th percentile in height and 75th for weight. I figured a crazy growth spurt was going on as she went from size 4 to size 6 in about 4 months. I nearly fell off my chair laughing when Dr. McHugh said she must be a good eater. Yes, she has a hearty appetite (when she chooses) but is still sorely lacking in variety. In the meantime, thank God for good health for my little girl!

Funny how accustomed I am to facebook...I kept looking around for the "like" button for this post! :)
I thank God daily for her good health, as well as that of my other "grands"!
Love,
Grandma Janet
