Our lilacs are in bloom, and I decided to take the boys' picture in front of them yesterday. That got me thinking about last year's picture in front of the lilacs, so I decided to compare.
Last year (actually 11 months ago):
And yesterday:
As you can see, the changes in our youngest son are quite remarkable, while the changes in our older son are. . . underwhelming. I find myself frequently thinking, "is this boy EVER going to grow? Where is the growth spurt the doctor has talked about for 4 years now?" I remember between his 1st and 3rd birthdays, he gained SIX pounds. Total. Now, at 4 1/2, he weighs a meager 32 lbs (while his brother is 30 lbs).
As I've been typing this, I decided to measure his height. I was surprised - he's grown an inch since January! So has his brother. Hopefully he can stay ahead of Eli . . at least for a few more years!!
