Weight

As many of you know, Pachman is small for his age. He has been below the 5 percentile in weight since he was around 1 year old.  Pickle was much bigger and is around the 30 percentile in weight.  Bacon is the biggest so far but I'm not entirely sure what percentile he is at.
AT 2 MONTHS:
Pachman weighed 10 lbs. 14 oz. (10th percentile)
Pickle weighed 12 lbs. 7 oz. (50th percentile)
Bacon weighed 13 lbs. 10 oz. (88th percentile)

Yes, Bacon is HUGE (for my kids at least).  Just for fun:

AT 4 MONTHS:
Pachman weighed 13 lbs. 5 oz. (10th percentile)
Pickle weighed 16 lbs. 8 oz. (25th percentile)
Bacon is only 3 months so no official weight yet.

AT THIS MOMENT:
Pachman (4 yrs) weighs 28.4 lbs
Pickle (2 1/2 yrs) weighs 28 lbs.
Bacon (3 months) weighs 15 lbs. (that's a guess based on what he weighed at 2 months and how much he eats).

So Pachman is still the tallest but I think he will get passed up very shortly by Pickle since they basically weigh the same.  Bacon, at the rate he is growing, will probably pass them both up in a year.  Right now he is a slightly more than half their weight.

Pictures!

What's in a name?

Parkay's Place, the name of my blog will be understood by many and confusing to many more.  My name all my life until I got married was Emily Parker.  Yep, maiden name is Parker.  I love that name!  I'm so glad it lives on in my nicknames which will never go away.  I thought a lot about names of blogs for quite awhile.  It always came back to Parkay.  I LOVE the nickname and it's been with me for a long time. (I would tell you how long but that would date me and I wouldn't want to do that! Ha!)

So here's the story:

My childhood friend Tina (who is still a friend), started calling me Parkay Butter sometime around the beginning of 7th grade and that was that.  All through middle school and into high-school I was Parkay Butter.  Sometime in high-school is was shortened to just Parkay and it's been that way ever since.  As I sit here typing this, I cannot recall a time being called Emily by her since middle school.  We both attended BYU and lived in the same apartment complex and still I was Parkay.  She would and still does introduce me as Parkay to people.  When I met her boyfriend (now husband), she introduced me as Parkay.  In fact, I don't believe he has ever called me Emily.
