We had our own Winter Olympics of sorts here this morning! Grace and I blew through a few feet of soft powder on the driveway to land on packed snow on the road. We dodged a few moguls and did a beautiful side twist when we turned the corner. We fared well through the 5-6 foot snow and ice luge that used to be the round a bout and entry into the subdivision. We kept our skis straight the rest of the slick, icy roads until we arrived at Dr. Byrne's. There were numerous other contestants on the side of the road that didn't fare so well earlier in the day.
It has been 9 hard months of work for Grace, but she brought home the gold yesterday as she surged past the single digit percentiles for height and weight. Her performance stats are as follows:
Height: 26 1/4 inches (17 3/4 at birth); 10th percentile
Weight: 16 lb. 12 oz. (4 lb. 8 oz. at birth) 13th percentile
Head Circumference: 44.4 cm; 60th percentile.
Considering that just 6 months ago she was less than the 1st percentile for height and weight, her training and coaching regiment has proven effective. And what can we say about her head circumference? She gets her big head from her mother and her brain from her father. That's pure genetics. Yeah, Grace!
