My growing kids

I weighed my kids yesterday because I wanted to make sure DD hadn't had a huge weight gain (last I checked she was around 36lbs). I needed to rearrange carseats for the weekend and wanted her to ride in the Uptown. She's 38lb, and she's even with the top harness slots. I guess this will be her last rides in the Uptown (DS usually uses it RF). And since DD was standing on the scale DS wanted to also and he's 28lb :eek: He was 25-26lb last time he stood on the scale (and he likes to check his 'number' I don't remember how long it's been though). So I'm thinking he might be FF around the same time DD did, not long after he turns 3 - DD was also 28lb when she turned 3 and had a 3lb gain shortly after. Since we have 33lb RF Marathons and the kids sneak in a couple extra lbs without me noticing I don't like to push it.

No real point other than my surprise at both of their weight gains. I guess it shouldn't surprise me, they've both grown about 1 1/2" over the summer too. Now I'm wondering if I should look at a combo seat for DS once he's FF though, the MA's are so reclined in my SUV when FF. Hmmmm, it's been over a year since I bought a carseat....
