Doctor visits and running

On Friday the kids had their well visits, Reagan's 5th and Grant's 2nd. Reagan passed her hearing exam and her eye exam (even though she had failed this one at school). She goes for the eye test on March 2nd. She is actually hoping to get glasses. :-) She is now 46 1/2 inches tall. The doctor was so surprised and wanted to know where she got the height from. We told her that we were at a loss on that one. She is well over 100 percentile for her age. She is actually the average height of a 6 1/2 year old! She is also 44 lbs which is the 75th percentile for her age. So she's very tall and skinny, which makes clothes shopping for her pretty hard. Grant on the other hand is not so tall. He is 35 1/2 inches which is the 60th percentile. He is 32lbs now so he's in the 80th percentile for weight. Their doctor said he's a stocky boy isn't he? I don't know how because mostly all that kid eats is soy milk and fruit with the occasional peanut butter sandwich and fruit snack. His tubes are also still in place so everything is great on that end.

Mama on the other hand has been trying to up my running this week. I went Monday, Saturday, and Sunday. I can't say I'm great or fast at it, but I am improving. I am running/walking 13 minute miles right now which is a big improvement from when I started last October when I was doing 20 minute miles. I'm hoping to sign up for another 5K this spring.
