Ella

Ella had her two-year old doctor visit this week.  She is 36 inches tall (93.44%) and 31 pounds (90.9%)...the size of the average three year old according to the doctor (and the growth chart he was holding).  Russ and I are now planning to retire after the 2024 Olympics when the girls bring home the gold in beach volleyball.  Or maybe basketball...Ella puts up a good block and can use her elbows.

Ella also got two shots today.  She screamed so loud I think she made some of the adults in the waiting room tear up in fear of getting their own shots.  When we got home, Ella promptly pulled down her pants, pulled off the band aids, and stuck them to the hardwood floor.  I think it was an act of defiance. 

Of particular interest to me was her head size.  Her head circumference is 20.5 inches.  I think she and I might wear the same hat size.  It puts her at 99.95% for head size.  That is statistically amazing.

I am hopping that Ella's measurements translate to intellectual aptitude. With measurement of 90.93%, 93.44%, and 99.95% (weight, stature, and head circumference) she is definitely A material, probably A+ material.

I'm sure that head circumference will translate into Smart Cookie in life and school. She's got it in her blood too. It's inevitable with parents like hers. I've got a girl with top of the chart head circumference too. Her hats are a size larger than her big sisters. And she's a Smart Cookie too. So there's your proof.
