Well, after four months of being home, eating very well and nutritious, being very active with all kinds of activities and sleeping extremely well Zac has not grown one bit! Yes, that's right. We had his height and weight checked this week and he weighs the exact same and has not grown a centimeter.
We were sure we would have seen a growth spurt in this amount of time like so many other adoptive parents. Since we have not seen the growth we had hoped for the doctor sent us to get a "bone age" X-ray today at Children's Hospital. It was a quick trip and Zac did great with the X-ray (he is such a trooper). We will find out the results tomorrow. If indeed his bone age is less than his real age then we will be off to a pediatric endocrinologist. If everything looks normal then I guess we have a genetically little guy who will make a wonderful gymnast!
We'll let you know.

Dmitry has been home 7 months and hasn't grown or gained weight either!! Anxious to hear your results of the xray test!
