A funny thing happened at the doctor’s office on the boy’s second birthday; they measured smaller than expected. While both boys have added about 4 lbs over the last 4 months, neither has grown measurably taller. This is odd considering how much leaner they both look. It is also common for children’s bodies to fill out before going through a growth spurt. Their 2T clothes are getting tighter while their sleeves and pant legs are still too long. Perhaps because they were five weeks premature their two-year growth spurt is slightly delayed. Of course it’s difficult to measure squirming little boys and the nurse’s technique is not perfect. We’ll measure again next month and see what happens.
