Brady's 2 Year Stats

Brady's not quite two years old yet, but since we're leaving the country, we had his physical a bit early. As always, I'm quite anxious to see how he's measuring up, especially since he can never seem to hold up his pants that are a size smaller than his age. So here's how he did:

Height : 34.5 inches (65th percentile)
Weight : 26lb 8oz (35th percentile)

His weight has increased almost two whole pounds in the last four and a half months, which has kept him on the 35th percentile. He has gained two inches in height, which moved him from the 50th percentile to the 65th percentile. He is projected to be about 6 feet tall as an adult. This is based on Andy's height and my height if I'd ever drank milk growing up, which I didn't. I should be as tall as Andy, but if I was, I probably wouldn't have dated him, so things worked out alright ;) Andy is thrilled that Brady will be tall and he will fit right in with my side of the family where all the men are at least 6 feet tall. My mom said just the other day that Brady is dense. He's all muscle and you can actually see the definition in his legs. There's not an ounce of "fluff" anywhere on that kid. Andy and I were heavier growing up and felt like we would have to work hard to keep our kids from that same fate and it looks like it may not be a problem (at least for Brady). He eats a variety of things and his favorites are any fruits or veggies he can get his hands on. The only difference is that he knows when he's full and will say he's done. He won't take one more bite after he's said that he's done. He's learned at such a young age what most adults have yet to learn.

We're already starting to wonder where the last two years have gone. He's such a big kid now and is talking more and more every day. It really doesn't seem like that long ago that we were still living in Oakland and he was sleeping in the same room with us. He's had such an eventful childhood already and he's not even two! He's lived in three states and is about to make his fourth home in another country on another continent! How many other kids his age can say that? Andy always says that he'll be jealous of himself and I think he's right. Brady is getting the opportunity to travel the world and his only reminder will be pictures instead of his own memory. Either way, it's a great experience for all of us and we can't wait to see what his third year will bring!
