Sweet Potato has it rough. She has to follow in this huge bath being blazed by her big brother. It's not fair. The expectations for her are set so high that everything seems like it could be failure. She is her own person and will go her own path once she discovers it. For now, she is following her brother.
Physically, her brother is still quite the specimen consistently measure in the 90th percentile for height and weight. Her last appointment she too measured in the 90th percentile for height. My thrill level that day - - also in the 90th percentile. This checkup....not so much. She measured only in the 25th percentile for height, 50th percentile for weight. My girl barely grew - - if any. Yes, she is overall healthy, but I have to admit that I was hoping she would also consistently measure the 90th percentile. Disappointed, yes. Surprised? No. Yes, she is a girl but still. It would have been nice to have a tall girl. I didn't cry...I'm saving that for the day Jr. doesn't measure in the 90th percentile.
