Growing like a weed






We took Kaitlyn to her first Doctors visit on Monday. He said that she's one of the healthiest looking newborns he's ever seen. She's gained back her birth wieght plus two ounces, so she weighs 7 pounds 4 ounces now and she grew 3 inches. Yep, that's right...3 whole inches. Almost 4 actually. She was 17 1/2 inches long at birth and is now 20 1/2 inches long. That's in only two weeks! Add on to the fact that she's already gained her birth weight back and I'd have to agree with our Doctor's assesment that she is a very healthy little girl. Gjanden made the comment that if our kids keep growing the way they do that they'll outgrow us for sure. I'm inclined to agree with that statement too.

Love the pics! Wow, that is amazing 3 inches! Danielle was only 2 (although she also gained another pound on top of her birth weight)
