Daniel and Anna Updates

We went to the doctor this week for Anna's 1 month and Daniel's 3 year appointments. Both were a little late but that is becoming par for the course these days.

Daniel is doing great. He is now 41 1/2 inches tall (100th percentile) and 38 1/2 pounds(95th percentile). The doctor said he was the average size of a 4 1/2 year old! He is obviously going to be tall like his dad. Daniel is also very healthy and is doing great developmentally. He knows all of his letters both upper and lower as well as their sounds. We are starting on a beginner reader series that the Dr recommended so we will see how that goes. He can also count to 20 well and to 100 while looking at the numbers as well as some simple math. We are going to try taking him to his first organized class, preschool gymnastics. It will be interesting to see how he does.

Anna is also doing wonderfully. We are so pleased to report that she is very healthy and growing like a weed. She is now a whopping 12 pounds 3 ounces( 100th percentile) and 22 3/4 inches long (95th percentile) and her head is in the 98th percentile. And yes she is only 5 weeks old. She is eating and sleeping well and is overall a very good baby. As you can see in the pictures below she has developed some lovely bumps on her face that will hopefully go away soon. We have seen a few tentative smiles but nothing consistent so far. We think she is going to have red hair like her brother, but there is too little of it to tell for sure.
