She Finally Made It!
The Little One had her well-baby appointment and we are excited to announce that she finally made it on the growth curve for height! She is very short and had not even been on the curve since she was about 6 months old.
Measuring in at 30 inches tall, she is just below the 5% curve. Yes she is still short, but her little dot is at least visible on the curve. WAHOO!
At 27 pounds, it looks like she is going to take after both the FixItMommy and the Husband as she is in the 70% for weight.
Granted, I have never been one to really put much into the meaning of the growth curve and the Big One’s results added to my disdain for them. She is a pretty skinny child we think. Many people are surprised when they hear how well she talks because she looks very small to them as well. At 36 inches tall, she is in the 10% for height, but at 35 pounds she is in the 70% for weight. Granted she was wearing heavy clothes because it was chilly outside, we were surprised nonetheless when 35 pounds put her in the 70%percent.
Oh well, all that really matters is they both are healthy, growing and developmentally right on track.
My Little One had a well baby check yesterday – w/vaccines! 😦 VERY sad!!!
Woo hoo!! Glad the appointment went well. 🙂
