Isaac's growth

Isaac had a check up at St. Luke's Hospital today so we have a new set of measurements:

Weight: 11.51 kg
Height: 86.5 cm

I came home and immediately checked to see where he is on growth charts. I am so happy he is actually ON both growth charts now - based on both his adjusted age AND TADA his actual age!!! Plus this is a US growth chart and Isaac is ethnically Asian so I think he is doing okay!

Please see for yourself!

I also tried out one of those height predictor sites. The problem is I am not sure if we are supposed to be going on his actual birthday or his adjusted birthday. If we go by his actual birthday, his height is predicted to be only 5'6" but if we go by his adjusted age, his height is predicted to be 5'10"! I sure hope we are supposed to go by his adjusted age!

Well done little man Isaac!!!! I think that my little Will was just barely on the charts at the same age that Isaac is now and barely on them and Will wasn't a preemie! I think Isaac is doing FABULOUS!!!! Can I claim asian heritage even if Will is only 1/4 Philipino?! Ahh, I think Will gets the shortness from my side...I am 5-4, but my dad was only 5-8 and my mom is only 5-1.

Have a great day!
