Milestones: Deen is 6 months, Safah is 4 years and 6 months



Deen turns 6 month old. This is a late post I know. I wish I could put this in its proper order. If someone knows how, please let me know. Deenie Beanie stats: 18.5 pounds. Now up to 50 percentile for head, up from 25. Height and weight still at 50 percentile. Half of what Safah was still. She was always 100 percentile for everything. Though it is strange, I see no difference in their sizes. Safah looked to be the same size at 6 months and I thought the same weight, but she was already 20-22 pounds at 6 months. Hmmm. They both are out of their clothing size though. Deen is in the top size of a 9 months and the bottom of a 12 month depending on the clothes maker. Safah was that way as well.

Safah turned 4 years and 6 months this month (April). So 4 and 1/2. She is still 100 percentile, wearing a size 10, with a great 13 wide shoe. She is actually the same height or taller than her 5 and 6 year old classmates and cousins, so I have to remind people and myself that she is 4. Sort of annoying because people make assumptions about her. Even other parents at school ask, oh what 1st grade teacher is she going to have, etc., was she invited to that birthday sleepover. Nooo, dude she is 4. Number 1, a sleepover for a 5 year old, hmm no. Number 2, she doesn't even sleep over at all of her cousins houses by herself yet. Only my brother's house, and we live 3 minutes away for the inevitable phone call, "I wanna see you, come over here. I need a hug goodnight, I was crying and I am sad." CAUSE she is 4. ;) I always have to remind them that she is in Pre-K not K. Their reactions are always priceless, "Wow, she is tall. Is her father tall?" Cause I am such a shorty...It is not my fault that she is tall and well rounded and articulate and mature for her age, MA, MA, that is how she is naturally and I will not let anyone lump her into some generic box that they feel more comfortable in. They cannot compare their kid's development to mine! Ok enough ranting...;)

Anyway, summer is here and it is time to think about summer activities...what to do with a 4 year old and an infant. Who knows. Welcome to the soccer mom membership!!!
