Ok, I know we're tall, but will these kids EVER slow down?

Roo wanted to measure himself this morning even thought we'd done it less than 3 months ago. So we went ahead and measured all the kids to see if there was any difference in 3 months. Holy cow! Brent had to measure Roo 3 times just to make sure we had it right.

Here are their stats:

AJ at 7 1/2 grew 1 inch and is now 53"

Roo (who will be 6 in January) grew 1 1/4" and is now 50"

Tink who is almost 3 1/2 grew 3/4" and is now 40"

And we didn't measure Lady 3 months ago, but we got the best measurement we could today (she wasn't super cooperative) and she was around 31 1/4"

I keep waiting for them to slow down, but it's just not happening. I think this might mean that AJ has finally outgrown her 5 pt harness carseat by height (meaning her shoulders are above the top slots. She's in a Britax Husky/now called the Regent). I'll have to check next time she gets in the car. But I feel pretty good about making it 7 1/2 years without having to use a booster. If she's outgrown it, she'll now move into the Britax Parkway booster she uses in Brent's car and Roo will move into the Husky.

Eveybody's always told me that kids grow up fast, but I didn't think it would be THIS fast!
