Kennedy - our big girl

Everyone has always told us how tall Katelyn is. The funny thing is...she has always just been in the 50% for height her entire life! We would tell people that she was average height, but they always thought she looked tall. I think it was just that people expected her to be tall because Kevin is 6'5". Also, Katelyn has always been quite the skinny minny, which makes her look long and lean. But, in gymnastics, preschool, soccer, and kindergarten, she was really just average in her height (but quite skinny).

Well, Kennedy, she is the one who got Kevin's height! Look at this picture of her standing with a little girl who is in both her gymnastics and preschool class...

Now, to be fair, this little girl is tiny!... and so are both of her parents. Kennedy is now between the 75th and 90th percentiles for her height! She also is quite skinny for her height...weighing in at a whopping 30-31 lbs. This puts her in the 25th percentile for weight (which is pretty darn thin considering the percentiles for her height.

Most of you know that Kennedy was 5 weeks premature. When Kennedy was a baby, it took her a lot longer to catch up in size with the full-term babies than it took Katelyn. I remember our pediatrician telling us that Kennedy was just going to be petite...ha! Our pediatrician is extremely perceptive and intelligent, but Kennedy fooled her on this one!
