Age: 3 years Stats: 38 lbs. 4 oz. (96th percentile), 39.25 inches (94th percentile). Clothes: I think, just maybe, your growing has stalled a little. You’re wearing 4T-5T in everything (mostly 4T, but sometimes you wear a 5T in pants), but that hasn’t changed in a good six months. You’re a size 9 in shoes. You don’t normally […]
