Listen to this.....

So I took Jackson to his 15 month well check up appointment yesterday....they did his height and weight and you all will never believe this......He is only 31.5 inches and 21.4 pounds....he hasn't grown that much in the last 3 months (even though he eats ENTIRE chicken breasts and entire cans of peas at one sitting)!...the doctor told me that at age 2 you can usually gage just how tall a person is going to be with some mathamatical equation. So..the doctor looked at the chart that shows how Jackson compares to other kiddos....and he is 50% in height and he said that if Jackson "stays the same," meaning, if he slowly creeps up the height scale, that Jackson may only be average height....which is 5'10 for a man. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME????? HAVE YOU SEEN HOW TALL MY HUSBAND AND I ARE???? Surely a growth spurt will come soon....

Hey this will make you feel better...when I was Jackson's age my pediatrician said I was only going to be 4'10" when I became an adult and well, I am 5'6"...so basically take Jackson's predicted 5'10" and add about 8 inches and that is where Jackson will be :-)
Hope that helps! Love you!
