Birthday Stats

GRANT

Weight: 82lbs (85th percentile)

Height: 54.5" (54th percentile)

You're wearing a size 10/12 in just about everything, 12 being the more ideal size. You're wearing a size 4.5 in shoes. I actually had to buy you men's sock to fit around your beefy calves. Somehow you gained about 14 pounds since you turned 9. I don't know if thats normal or not, but you went from a little fella to a young man within this year. Its CRAZY!! You're like a solid cement wall- your body is dense!!!

WYATT

Weight: 52lbs (30th percentile)

Height: 48" (17th percentile)

You're wearing a size 6/7 in most things. Some clothes you have are still 5's and some are 8's. Your shoes are a 13 or 1, depending on the brand. You're roughly the same size as Grant when he was turning 7! But your small stature lends itself well to being a good gymnast! You're like a little feather floating through the air! You always say you love being small. I love you being small too :)

9 and 7 Year Stats

The rate you both are growing is alarming. I'm watching you grow into young men before my very eyes and I'm not sure my heart can handle it!! 

The muscles you two are putting on- holy moly!!! It's no wonder you both are always asking for snacks!!

Grant

Weight: 68.9 lbs (75th percentile)

Height: 52.5" (56th percentile)

You're wearing size 8/10 in shirts and shorts (I would say pants, but you have an extreme dislike for pants and would prefer long socks and shorts, or shorts and tights? It's a weird 9 year old boy thing too, I'm sure I'm not alone......please tell me I'm not alone?). Some of your shirts are 10/12 and that's just so weird to me! You wear a size 3 shoe. You are still liking only things that are dri-fit material. Forget 100% cotton- its not soft enough!
You legs aren't the only thing beefy about you anymore! Check out these guns!!

Wyatt

Height: 46" (19th percentile)

Weight: 46 lbs (23rd percentile)

You still seem so tiny to me, especially compared to classmates of yours who are taller than you but also a year younger than you. But thats ok- I'm holding on to your tiny-ness for as long as possible!! The thought of my baby boy getting so big makes me sad! You wear mostly size 6 in shirts and shorts/pants. Some things are still size 5, but there are also some size 7's sprinkled in there. You finally moved up to a size 12 in shoes! You're exactly the same size as your brother when he was turning 6!
One thing that is getting huge on you though is your muscles!!

I mean look at these bad boys...

You both are literally growing into wonderful, strong, handsome little boys!!! So thankful!

5 and 7 Year Stats

Wyatt's Stats

 Height: 40.5" (15th percentile)

Weight: 36lbs (10th percentile)

While you're still pretty tiny, I look at you and I see how big you're really getting! You will still probably wear most of your 4t clothes from last year, but I'll be able to add some of the 5t things into the mix. You're still a solid 9/10 shoe. But your personality is larger than your stature, and I 'm perfectly happy with that!!!!!!!!!

Grant's Stats

Height: 48" (50th percentile)

Weight: 53.5lbs (60th percentile)

I still feel like you are just so so big!! I'm always astonished to see you fall in the middle of the pack with your stats. Maybe its because I see you in relation to your brother and that's why you look so big!! I've had to buy you size 8 everything for this summer!! Slow down my big boy!!!

4 and 6 Year Stats

I guess they just don't listen to me when I tell them to stop growing!!! Luckily they're still small enough for me to hold and snuggle with in my lap but they are getting so big!!!

Wyatt 

Weight: 32lbs (15th percentile)

Height: 3'2" (7th percentile)

Small, but mighty!! Wyatt is wearing 3t/4t shirts, and 3t pants/shorts. He's in a size 9 shoe. 

Grant

Weight: 46lbs (51st percentile)

Height: 3'9" (39th percentile)

I feel like Grant is a giant, so I'm surprised at his percentile for height! But he's been complaining of his legs hurting, so I have a feeling he's in the middle of a growth spurt. He's pretty much in a solid 6 in clothing all around. He's in a size 12-13 shoe. 

My big boys are getting too big!!!

3 and 5 Year Stats

The boys had their checkup last week to see how big they are! And they sure are growing! Here are last years stats, (and the years before that!) just for comparison. 

Wyatt

Weight: 29 lbs (10-15 percentile)

Height: 35.5 inches (5th percentile)

Still petite, as usual! Maybe he will be like me and grow until he gets to college! His appetite comes and goes, just as you would expect a toddler to be. He's not quite as adventurous with his foods as he once was, and I have his brother to blame for that, but hopefully someday he will be my Chinese food buddy!

Grant

Weight:  40 lbs (44th percentile)

Length: 43 inches (50th percentile)

Not as big as he once was, but he has had steady growth over the years, despite the fact his food choices are still very minimal. However, his appetite seems to grow by the day! Hopefully he doesn't grow too much more before it gets warm out, because his pants collection is getting shorter (literally!) by the day!

I can't even imagine how big you both will be next year! I always tell you to stop growing because I want you to stay little forever! And while thats partly true, I love seeing you grow and change each and every day!

2 and 4 Year Stats

The boys had their 2-year and 4-year well checks this morning! I've been anxious to see how big my boys have grown since last year! We've been lucky that they've been relatively healthy, so we haven't made many trips to the doctor this year! Here are last years stats for comparison.

Wyatt

Weight: 25.5 lbs (19th percentile)

Height: 32.3 in (5th percentile)

Head: 19.5 in (70th percentile)

So pretty much, Wyatt is short, kinda skinny, with a big head! But he sure is cute that way! He still isn't talking in sentences yet, but he says every word under the sun, so the doctor wasn't concerned. 

Grant

Weight: 34.5 lbs (40th percentile)

Height: 40.7 in (46th percentile)

Grant has grown about 4 inches since last year, all in his legs too!! The kid's got crazy long legs now! He's still not eating like a normal 4 year old, so its no wonder he hasn't gained much weight! The doctor was impressed by his vocabulary and his following instructions!

I just pulled out Grant's old clothes to put into Wyatt's drawers. As I was pulling out the clothes, I had a hard time believing Wyatt is already as old as Grant when Wyatt was born! I have pictures of Grant in these clothes holding Wyatt when he was just a newborn. It just blows my mind how fast the past few years have gone! 

I'm sure next year, as I type their 3 and 5 year old stats, the same thoughts will cross my mind. How are my boys getting so big so fast?!?!?

1 and 3 Year Stats

Here are the yearly stats from the boys' doctor appointments:

WYATT

Weight- 19lbs. 13oz (5-10th percentile)

Length- 29.5in (25-50th percentile)

Head- 18.5in (50th percentile)

I'm so surprised Wyatt hasn't jumped off the charts in weight since the kid eats EVERYTHING!!! But I guess he never sits still, so he's burning calories like a maniac!

GRANT

Weight- 30.5lbs (25-50th percentile)

Length- 37in (25-50th percentile)

I'm so not surprised that Grant isn't up there in weight- he still lives off air! But I definitely thought he was taller than that! 

They both did great at their appointments, even though they were running WAY behind, as usual. Wyatt was so brave during his shots. He just snuggled his lovey, let out a few cries, and was finished crying by the time his toes left the table!

I sure am lucky to be blessed with two healthy, smart, beautiful boys!!
