Growing up- STATS for this month

Little man is growing up: here he is from referral until now:

Referral: March 27, 2006 (but the picture is from Dec 2005):
March 2006 stats: 28 inches tall (65 cm) long, 16.8 pounds
December 2005 stats: 27 inches (63 cm) long, 14.8 pounds

Homecoming: June2007

June stats: 34 inches (86 cm) long, 25 pounds

Feb 2000 stats: 39 inches (99 cm) tall (41 inches according to the chart at Target), 30 pounds.

In the last 20 months - Bug has grown 5 inches (maybe 7 inches) and gained 5 pounds. he has gone from size 24 month clothes to almost being out of size 4T clothes. His shoe size has gone from size 7 to size 10.5/11.

according to the charts- Bug is in the 10th percentile for weight (no surprise there), the 50th percentile for height (or the 90th if I use 41 inches) and he is below the 3rd percentile for weight to height percentile.

I thought he had grown more inches- I guess the movement through clothes sizes is deceptive in terms of how much growth is actually occurring. Although 5-7 inches is a big jump. We saw some friends this evening and they said he looked like he had not grown at all since he came. I am not sure what they were thinking, but I think anyone who looks at him can see the difference from June 2007 to Feb 2009. Heck anyone who saw him last year can see the difference in him.

Love to you,
