You Do The Math

Evie's stats at 2 years of age:

Height: 32.5 inches (16%)
Weight:  22 lbs. 5 oz (4%)
Head Circumference:  47.5 cm  (50%).  I think Evie has a really small head so I was pleased to see this percentile "normal"

For the record- I was in and out in 20 minutes TOTAL!  No wait for nurse, no wait for Dr. Burke, and no shots.  A first for sure.  Another first- Evie did not cry once.  She was very pleasant and cooperative. 



Here's my word problem for you to figure out:

At 24 months Evie is 22 lbs. 5 oz.  She weighed 20 lbs. 2 oz at 18 months and 18 lbs. 8 oz at 12 months (for those of you who want to see her rate of growth) 

When weighed last week at G and Poppop's house, Braylen was 17.4 lbs.  We'll call that 5.5 months old.  He weighed 15 lbs, 10 oz at 4.5 months. 

You can make a system of equations and do the math, or you can make an educated guess.  When will Braylen weigh more than Evie??

My guess from the beginning was when Braylen is 9 or 10 months old.  I am holding strong to that time frame.

I would have totally busted out my mechanical pencil if you hadn't a) included three dates for Evie and b) thrown in the one measurement for Braylen that wasn't in ounces. A system I can handle, but average rate of change plus unit conversion I cannot. Not at 8:15am anyway. :)
