Today I brought Ashton and Lilly in to the WIC office and they were weighed and measured. Any guesses as to how much Lilly weighs now??? 17 lbs! LOL she is in the 87% for herself (in other words, short and fat), but only 37% for babies her age. Ashton on the other hand is at 50% proportioned to himself and only 2% height and weight compared to other children his age. The lady at WIC wants me to give him supplements to help him try and gain weight before his next appointment . . . she didn't believe me that my kids are just really small, probably because she was looking at Lilly while I explained this to her.
Emmy was really excited when she came home from school today. She shared a story that she had written for show-and-tell today and her teacher told her that it was the best s-and-t she has ever seen. To make things even better for Emmy, all her friends asked her to read the story to them again at recess. She was pretty pumped up about it. She has been writing stories since she was about 3, so I am just glad that I don't have to help her spell out each and every word anymore!

Great job Emmy on your story! Glad to hear everyone is fine...if only Ashton would eat some REAL food!! Maybe, oh maybe he would grow, but I think he is destined to be small like the rest (except for Lilly of course!)
Congratulations, Emmy!! What a great honor for you and your story. We're so proud of you -- keep up the good work!
Can't believe such a difference between Lilly and Ashton. Hurry and grow, Ashton -- you've got to get big enough to go to school soon.
Hugs & kisses to all the kids!!

17 lbs! Corgin may be lucky to be at 15 lbs when he goes in for his 9 month check-up. Although, he is growing tall. You should post Emmy's story, I would like to read it because it sounds like it must be good. Well, hope to be seeing you guys soon. Talk to ya later.
