No matter where we are, everyone comments on how big Madeline is.  Most people think that she’s at least 2 and are usually shocked when I tell them that she’s just 18 months old.

At her 15 month appointment she was 32 inches tall.  Today at her 18 month, she was measured at a whopping 35 inches tall and 27 pounds. That makes her off the charts in height and in the 90th percentile for weight.  If she continues at this growth rate, and the whole “take your height at 2 years old multiply it by two and it’s your adult height” thing is true, she will be WAY over 6 feet tall.

Jonathan and I are both on the tall side — I’m 5′7 and he’s 6′2, and we both have height in our families (I have two female cousins that are over 6 feet tall and Jonathan is the shortest of his male cousins).  Maybe we should start investing in private basketball coaching lessons now.
