Reagan-isms

"Mom, the jammies you got me are so comfy-table.  They sleep good!"

Six Year Well Child Visit

Well, Reagan passes being six years old!!  She's growing with gusto... lengthwise.  As suspected due to all of her pants being too short, she has gained several inches and is now 3'9.5" tall.  This puts her in the 52nd percentile for height.  Our recent trip to Disney gave us some indication of that, because we knew she was taller than the 44" requirement for Space Mountain.

Little Miss weighs a burly 38 pounds.... which puts her in the 9th percentile for weight. Still on her own little curve, so it's all good.  Her BMI plummeted off the chart in the down-ward direction (somewhere below the 5th% at 13.1 kg/m2), but I think that's because she's just growing UP faster than she's growing OUT.  All calories are being used to build height at this stage.  She eats well, and the doctor is great about knowing that "that's just how she is".  Exactly. 

There was some blood in her ear which shouldn't be there (Reagan has been complaining of "beeping" in her ear - but I honestly thought it was water from all the swimming we did down south) so we have to go back in a few weeks, but otherwise she is healthy, happy, and growing like a weed!!

Go go go little girl!!

Thanks for that....

Reagan (sitting on Mommy's lap and playing with my hair): "Mom, your hair is very long.  For a BOY!"

Uhhhhhhhhhh..... thanks?

Oh Goodness....

This is probably Too Much Information.... BUT....
Reagan just came out of my bedroom, carrying a leopard skin number and said
"Mom!  I found your swim suit!"

Uhhhhhhhhh.  Not a swimsuit, sister. 
"What is it, then?"  she asks innocently.

"It's a.... uh..... nightgown," I stammer.

"A nightgown?!?!?!?!"

So it doesn't look like hers. 

Good grief.

Scooby Scooby Doo, where are you?

The Challenger

Reagan and Robbie played a game of chess last night.  And it was a draw.  Robbie actually TRIED, too, reportedly.  Reagan may have gotten a little help from the chess tutor on Rob's iPhone, but the moves were all her.

Go girl.  Conquer the world!
