Long and lean

So we had a fun day today... taking Avery to the endocrinologist if you can believe that. For awhile, we had some worries about Av's growth because she was declining on how fast she grew -- I think it's because she wouldn't eat any meat and only veggies and bread. But today, holy mackerel (I've been made fun of lately for saying that - a very dad thing to say) Av has shot up like a weed! She's 38 inches and in the 50th percentile after falling to the 10th. So cool! All that testing she made us go through, again made us worry our heads off, and then she says "don't worry mama, dadda -- okay I'll grow".  And yes, dad was also very proud of the big girl swimming in the lake "all by myself". She literally swam after the boat almost as fast as I did. strong girl.
