Charlotte had her 15 month wellness check last week, and the doctor basically told us what Charlotte's pajamas have been indicating for a while: She's growing. Lots. This girl's toes are poking out of 18 month jammies! (Isn't she supposed to have another 3 months in those?!?!!) It's to the point that when we discover Emily's too big for an item of clothing, we just move it to Charlotte's dresser. There's no need to pack it away and pull it out later. The shirts/pants/shoes fit now. It's nuts.
It's still funny how different she is from Emily. Yes, they're different kids, but comparing her visit to Emily's at this age - Charlotte is 5 pounds heavier. Five pounds!! That's practically the size of Emily's bowling ball from last week. (Emily was in the 25th percentile for weight at this age, and Charlotte's in the 80th.) And Emily was working on her molars at this point, while Charlotte only has 2 teeth!
But boy does it feel good to remember how picky Emily was with any and all new foods - makes me appreciate how good an eater Charlotte is. Her favorite foods (and I mean favorite) include broccoli, green beans, snow peas, peppers, and apples. Guess we know where those 5 extra pounds came from :)
