How big is...

Today we went for the boys yearly physicals. Usually the doctor won't do 3 kids at a time but he changed around Alex's appointment so many times that we finally had to put them all together. Here are their stats:

Alex

Height: 46.5 inches (last year: 44.25)

Weight: 48.2 pounds ( last year: 44.2)

We are very happy that Alex has gained almost all the weight he lost back. He is just like his old self. Did I mention that he can ride his bike now? About a week before his 6th birthday I took off the training wheels and he was riding in about 10 minutes.

Jonathan

Height: 43.25 (last year: 40)

Weight: 40.8 (last year: 36.2)

Jonathan is definitely longer and leaner then Alex was at this age. His feet are a fraction of an inch smaller then Alex's right now. I might be in trouble when it comes to winter boots this year. The last thing I want is for kids to be in the same size. As it is he is already wearing what Alex wore last summer rather then 2 summers ago like you would expect.

Jacob

Height:30 inches

Weight: 23.4 inches

Jacob has settled into more of a norm for the Glesser boys. His body type is more like Alex's (not quite as long as Jonathan has always been) He is in the 60 percentile for both height and weight. This of course, makes me happy since he will more on track for hand me downs. (can you see what my thoughts lead to as they grow)

I was very lucky to have Adam home to help me through the physicals. Of course, this year only Jacob needed shots so it wasn't quite as bad as last year when I was 1 day from delivering Jacob and my mom had to hold the boys down while being kicked repeatedly in the shines.
