just for kicks...

I thought I would measure Lucas...
He came to us 3 months ago
Age 7 years and 2 months
 40" tall and 40lbs. (extremely tiny for a 7 y.o.)

Today
Age 7 years and 5 months
He is 42" and 42.2 lbs.

hmmmm
at this rate it is easy to keep track of his size since his inches in height seem to match his weight in lbs.

so in 3 months he has gained 2" and 2 lbs.  Someone said "I think he looks bigger" and she saw him just 2 weeks ago.  That is why I thought I'd measure him again.

Now we all have to realize that he has one leg that is almost 2" shorter than the other.  So to be fair, I will continue to measure the longer leg---Seems only fair to give him the benefit of the doubt...=)
