DD has always been thin since she was a baby and when she started team I remember freaking out about her working out more hours because I worried she would lose weight or not grow as well. I was soo wrong. I use this calculator every now and then to see how she is growing and it has been amazing how much weight she has put on since starting team.
May 2008 she was 5 years 10 months and had just moved up to team. 37lbs and 43 1/2", 8th percentile for weight and 25th for height.
March 2009 she was 6 years 8 months old. 42.5lbs and 45 3/4" tall. 18th percentile for weight and 26th percentile for height.
December 2009 7 years 5 months 47lbs and 47 1/2" tall . 22nd percentile for weight and 25th percentile for height.
Interestingly, she has followed her height curve but has jumped up quite a bit on the weight curve. Until moving to team, she was always below 10% percentile for weight. I am sure a lot is due to muscle, but wow. All that worry for nothing.
Here is the calculator I used. Pretty fun. Especially when used over time. It has helped me so much to relax about all the hours she spends at the gym. She still doesn't eat as much as I would like, but I try.
