Quick post about some milestones... a year ago today...

After the recent long blog entry posted a couple of days ago, I will keep this one short and sweet:

a year ago today we were wrapping up a wonderful week of celebrations:
- Isabella's adoption day was on the 17th
(we celebrated with family & friends on the 20th). 
- Isabella's baptism was on the 21st.

That was such a special week for us. We are just so incredibly blessed - and immensely grateful - for the gift of both of these children into our little family.

Mercer and Isabella went to the doctor for "well" visits.
Mercer is 123 1/2 cm tall (4'1 1/2") -- 93% of all 6 year olds.  He's 55 lbs - 87% in weight. 
Isabella is 30" tall - 69% - a little above average for her age.  Her weight is ~20 lbs (19.8 to be exact).  This is well below average (14%).

She went in for a 15 month appointment, but was almost 17 months at the time.  They adjust the percentages based on the real age based on the growth chart.  She's a petite little thing - still wearing 12 month clothes (but she needs 18 month old in length).  Short season is coming soon.  whew!

And - of note - she's just now hitting 20 lbs at 17 months.  Mercer was 20 lbs at 6 months of age & outgrew the infant car seat then!  Technically, Isabella could've still been in hers too, but we moved her over to a standard car seat awhile back.  Just thought that was interesting!!
