Friday afternoon we went to an appointment where Luke had to be weighed and measured. We went back to her office to chart his growth and she was shocked. Luke weighed 33lbs, and was 37" tall. His growth chart had gone along a curve and then spiked. She couldn't believe that would be right, so we went back to measure him again. Sure enough, he grew 4 inches in 6 months.
After talking with her, a lot of things Luke has been doing made much more sense. Luke had been waking up at night crying and saying his legs or his back would hurt. Now we know its growing pains. Suddenly Luke's pants didn't fit. One day they did and the next we couldn't even button them. Finally, I asked her about Luke's eating habits...he's ALWAYS asking for food. I wondered if they learn this young to eat when they are bored. While I think there is still some of that, she thought Luke must just be that hungry if he'd been growing so much!
