Bigger, Stronger, and Ready for Some Serious Climbing

Franklin was working on some new moves at the playground the other day:


And I know what you're thinking: man, that kid is growing up! As he told Pete the other day, he's a big kid now!

How big, you ask? Well it just so happens that we went in for his two-year Dr. visit a couple of weeks ago, and found out that he's 2' 10.45" (0.875 m) tall and weighs 26 lb 11 oz (12.105 kg).

Nice moderate pace on the growth charts and percentages:




Anyway, none too soon, since we just got approved to do some more marmot monitoring this summer at Olympic National Park.

Had an amazing time when we did it a few years ago. Won't be quite as much backcountry this time, but I can't wait to help Franklin count some marmots!
