Now I honestly don’t know if it’s because I’m just short or other kids are shorter, but I’ve honestly not met a child as large as Zoe at her age. For example, the only other girl child I’m around constantly is my future sister in law’s daughter Cirena, but Cirena is almost four. She’s not that much taller, if not shorter than Zoe, and is a wispy little thing. So are most kids under the average for their weight and gender, or is Zoe really just average and I never really noticed before because they weren’t my kids? Zoe is a solid and sturdy little kid, even if she does trip alot. But like our friend Cooper said one day when he came over, “When does she start school again?” Uh, not for another three years Cooper. Well, this is when the comparision starts between the girls. I honestly don’t remember Zoe’s weight all too well at nine months, but I’m pretty sure she was at least 29 inches. Zoe was a longer baby, but when I put her old 18 month old pants on Ruthie (Zoe wore them at a year) there was less drag on the pants when Ruthie wears them, so her length must be in her legs, but Zoe’s must be in the torso, something she got from Jeff’s side of the family; since most of my height -what I have of it- is in my legs. Ruthie didn’t gain much weight from her last appointment, but since her last appointment, she’s learned how to crawl; which would indicate toning of muscles and lost of some fat. She’s still chubby, and does have rolls in her legs and arms; however she does NOT have anywhere near the ammount of rolls that Zoe had. The doctor didn’t worry about it all, he said it’s quite normal.<\/p>\n Anyway, speaking of three year olds, we’re having Zoe’s birthday party tomorrow! I’m so excited. We’re having the party here at our apartment, and because of that, we’re just keeping it in the family this year, even then, I’m not sure how well our apartment can hold roughly 18 people.. but we’ll manage! Instead of buying or making invitations to mail out though, I just sent an email. Here’s what the invitation looks like:<\/p>\n
