We ended up having a couple of appointments this week. Ava is 21 lbs and 10 ozs, and Jack is 38 lbs. Jack is 41.5 inches. I can't remember Ava's height, but they are both doing great. Ava is still not walking quite yet, but I know it will come in time. It will be nice when it happens since she gets heavy! We had a lesson in our moms group about parenting, and I remember one phrase. "Delight in your ordinary child." Everyone wants extraordinary children. There is nothing on the internet about how to have an ordinary child, just ways to create super children. But it's just kind of a good reminder to appreciate them the way they are at the pace they are. We felt Jack did things ahead of schedule, but then he couldn't eat meat until he was 3. Ava could probably eat a steak, but doesn't walk yet. All these things make them ours, and that's pretty extraordinary!
