Genetics: Aren't They Great!

Small Boy

We just took Carter in for his two year appointment. We, along with most of everyone who knows Carter, know he's skinny. Well, his weight gain has been a little under a pound every check up since he was around 9 months. He did have one where we were surprised that he gained 3 pounds, but that was short lived. This appointment was no exception. He is now 22 lbs 9 oz (still under 5%). Jesse's looking at the bright side that he's over 22 1/2 lbs. Yeah, by a whole whopping 1 oz! With that we found out that he's also 35 inches long! That put him in the 75%. Yes, my boy is tall and skinny. The doctor even commented on how tall he had gotten since he last saw him. This was before he had seen his measurements. So, now when people ask how big Carter is, we put it in a gentle way by saying that he's like Andrae Kirelinko (don't know exact spelling) on a diet. He's tall and skinny and plays basketball for the Utah Jazz. That does give us even more reason to have Carter play basketball in the future. Not that wasn't our plan before. :D

Happy Mother's Day!
(you know what? you should come out and visit your mother to show her how much you love her. I bet she'd really like that. ;-) )
