Growing Girls


We have been busy swimming, swimming and swimming this week! It has been so hot and humid here in Indiana this week, our pool has been WONDERFUL!!! Braylen is a little fish, swimming this year without any floaties. Alea gets everywhere she wants to get in her life jacket. Braylen is so excited that she can touch the bottom of the pool this year.
On Monday, the girls both had physicals at the doctor. Braylen weighs 51 pounds and is 47 1/2 inches tall. She is in the 80th percentile on weight and 90th on height. The doctor says at this rate, she is going to be 6' - 6' 1" tall!!! WOW!!! Alea is still a little peanut. She almost weighs 24 pounds and she is 34 inches tall. She is "hugging" the 0 percentile on both this year instead of being a leap away. She did grow 4 inches and gain 5 pounds in a year though and for that the doctor was VERY pleased!! He said at the rate she is going, she will be 5 foot tall and 85 pounds! Just what we have always thought--her birthmother was a bit shorter than that and probably weighed about 80-85 pounds. Both are healthy, happy little girls that we couldn't be prouder of! Thank you Lord for blessing us with these :)
Braylen will have her final t-ball game on Friday, which we can all say "YIPPEE" on! It has seemed like a LONG season and she is burned out!! We will celebrate with a swim party after for her entire t-ball team. Should be lots of fun :)
Summer is going WAY too fast, but we are trying to enjoy every minute of it!
