Stats:

Ella: 25 pounds 3 ounces & 33 3/4 inches tall
That is 75th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for height

Ben: 35 pounds & 37 1/2 inches tall
That is below average for weight and approx. 15th percentile for height

Funny how one kid takes after each of us. Except that I am NOT below average for weight!

A visit to the doctor...don't worry, everyone is fine!

It was just Ella's 14-month well-baby check. She weighed in at 23 pounds, 11.5 ounces and 31.5 inches tall. Wow. Ben came along as we had some hearing questions for the doc, and he weighs 34 pounds and is 36 inches tall. The doc wondered if Ben's height measurement was right, 'cause he hasn't grown any since February. Just the other night we were measuring ourselves (Get your minds out of the gutter! This is a family-friendly blog!) and I measured him at 37 inches. I told the doc this, and he said we'll measure him again at Ella's 18-month appointment and go from there. Anyhoo, when he moved on to Ella, he noticed her stats and said, "Boy, they're not cut from the same cloth, are they?" To which I replied, "Just WHAT are you insinuating? They DO have the same daddy!" No, I kid. About saying that to the doctor. Ben & Ella really do have the same daddy. And it IS Gord.

I finished all 6 Harry Potter books in lots of time for the July 21st release of the 7th and final book. And the 5th movie comes out on July 11th (Can you guess what we're doing for our anniversary? No, not that. God no, not that. We'll go see Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix, whether Gord likes it or not!). I think I'll start a countdown to each, 'cause I am completely obsessed by both:

Days until movie comes out: 12
Days until I'll see the movie: 15
Days until book is released: 22
Days until I buy the book: 22
Days until I finish the book: 23 (Hope Gord doesn't mind me going missing for a day or so for me to read it)
