Diana's two-year stats

I knew it would happen.

I knew, with utmost certainty, that one day Diana would weigh more than her big sister. Well, it seems that day has already arrived. According to the nurse (and scale) at her pediatrician's office Diana now weighs 33 pounds. Amelia normally comes in around 31-32 pounds (she registered 32 pounds during her four-year check-up).

So Diana is now at the 95th percentile for her age group for weight. She is also at the 95th percentile for head circumference, and she's above the 95th percentile for height.

And, of course, she's above the 95th percentile for cuteness.

It's hard to know where she's getting this great height from. Her sister Amelia is taller than average, too. Looking at Amelia and Diana's mom (me) you wouldn't guess I'm carrying a gene for height anywhere in my DNA. Or maybe I was meant to be tall and all the cherry cokes and Ho-Ho's I ate in high school stunted my growth somehow.

If Diana keeps this up, she will wind up looking like the goddess of her namesake...And I'm not suggesting that's a bad thing. To the contrary, she may find herself sticking up for her big sister at some point in the future - who knows?
