Here is a Miss Molly update for you all. Because our little Molly is so small in weight but growing in height our doctor decided to start running some tests. She is 75th percentile in height and less than 5% in weight. She is a little less than 19 pounds. So last week she had a urinalysis to test her sugar for diabetes luckily that came back fine. Then on Monday at 7:30 am we had to go for a blood test. (That experience was almost harder on Grant and I than her because we had to watch her get her blood taken also she was not happy to be up so early). Anyway that day they tested her thyroid and her other cell levels to see if anything came back abnormal. Today we went to the doctor and everything from her blood test came back normal. So now we have to see a dietician to see if she just isn't getting enough calories (which for anyone who has seen her eat seems hard to believe). Our next step would be to see an intestinal doctor. So I'll keep everyone posted. But for all around her she is probably skinny because she never sits down.

As you can see it didn't phase her. She wasn't' happy she couldn't eat or have juice or milk for 12 hours. Immediately following the doctor we went to McDonald's where she polished off almost 1 and a half pancakes and chocolate milk.
One amusing thing about Matthew right now. Apparently on some show he saw a person use air quotes so now when he is talking to you he will all of a sudden just use them. It is quite hysterical. Also last week Matthew started karate. The first thing he said when he was done was that he needed a karate outfit.
