I'm on the charts for my weight!!

Atley had a follow up appt with our wonderful pediatrician last week. He sees her every 6 months because of her small size and just to check up on how she is doing. Altey weighed 25 lbs in January at age 4. It took her until 7 months of age to reach 10 lbs. If you all recall she weighed a whopping 1 lb 15.3 oz at birth, and has never stopped moving since.

Atley now weighs 28 lbs and is offically on the charts for her weight! It is only the 1% but hey we will take it. She is still a little minute but I tell you she can whip her 40 lb twin brother into shape.

Dan asked the pediatrican if he has even seen a baby as small as Atley not having any delays/problems etc. He said Atley is the exception. He said I just love seeing her because I get to see a miracle :) He also said she is doing so well because of her wonderful parents, that is always nice to hear too!

A cute story to tie in with her being on the charts, Atley and Carson were chatting at bedtime a few days ago, and Dan went in and said okay, it is time to be quiet its bed time. Atley proceeded to say" Daddy do you know that I am on the charts for me weight" That is what we were talkin about". Dan couldn't help but laugh, because it really is something we are all so proud of.

Have a great week.
