Height: 95%
Head: 99% (that means only 1 person has a bigger head than her, out of 100.) :)
Weight:85%
Holy cow! I loooove my cute girl! She is just growing great and talks so well, and she is such a sweetheart.
And then there was my peanut, Connor. He is doing great, growing right on his own little curve. His little problem is his eczema. Really bad. Oh, and he has a herniated belly button. Look it up, they are a little scary and painful looking. Back to the eczema. 2 different doctors looked at it, and since there is some psoriasis in the family, they want him to go to a dermatologist to look at it and make sure it's only eczema. That's how bad it is. I really can't imagine being a tiny baby and not being able to scratch where it itches.....ugh! Anyway, here are his stats:
Height: 75%
Head: 75%
Weight.......10%
SERIOUSLY!!! He eats EVERY 2 hours and then every 3 hours throughout the night......and only 10 PERCENT!?!? Oh dear....Oh well...The doctor wasn't concerned. At least he is super tall compared to his weight. But then the doctor had the nerve to say that Maddie will probably be taller than Connor when they get older. Thanks lady. Just what I wanted to hear. (for those of you that don't know this about me...I hated being so tall in highschool because there weren't a lot of guys taller than me, so I was self conscious about it.) I am sure my girls will be a good height, but lady please let me believe that my son will be taller than my daughters someday.
please excuse that little rant.
Anyway...good to know that my kids are somewhat healthy and growing and have no major problems. And thank goodness for modern medicine.
I hate that I am once again not posting a picture....
(post-blog edit: Just so everyone understands...I will still completely love all of my children no matter how tall or not tall they are, and I will support and encourage them to be confident with however tall they may be. I just didn't think that lady needed to say that....that's all.)

We're on the other end of the spectrum, but it is what it is. Tall, short, or in-between, as teenagers they are all doomed to hate their bodies, but they'll get over it! Hope Maddie and Connor get all better soon. Poor little lovies! :(
I'd wanted to be tall since I was 6. Never happened, so I married a tall guy.
Poor Connor! We completely sympathize with the eczema situation. Hopefully it will resolve as he gets older. It has for Madeleine (with some minor medical intervention) and it's such a saving grace!
Kudos to you for handling everything with your three cutie kids!
I'm sure Conner will be taller than Maddie...dumb doctor! Don't you love how they throw their two cents in there, when you are like, just medical advice please! :)
I think Luke is in a similar head size category -- but he is short...so at least Maddie has the height advantage and her head goes with her body. Luke has such a small frame and a large head....poor kid. He's still a cutie in my eye though ;)
Hope everyone feels great soon and I hope Connor's belly button heals itself ;)
Poor little Maddie. Hope she's feeling better. Sounds like Conner is growing so fast!! They always grow way to fast at that age :( And Trey had a herniated belly button too when he was little. I never thought it would go away..I hated it because it made me so nervous .. but then one day, seriously, it was just gone!!
