Weight: 18 lbs. (was 15 lbs. 15oz.)—between percentile 75 and 90
Length: 28-1/2″ (was 25-3/4″)—99th percentile
Head: 17-1/4″ (was 16-1/2″)—75th percentile
For comparison, at six months Owen was:
Weight: 19 lbs. 7 oz.—so 1 lb. 7 oz more!
Length: 28-1/2″—the exact same length!
The doctor said everything looks great. She was just ever-so-slightly concerned that she hasn’t started solid foods yet, so suggested we try real foods instead of jarred baby foods (like yogurt puffs, grain puffs, mashed potatoes, avocado, etc.) and if she’s still not eating by 9m, then we should see a specialist. But I’m not worried.
She did really well with her shots—hopefully because I dosed her with Motrin before the appointment. She got two vaccinations and a flu shot (with a booster due in 30 days)…then fell asleep when I was halfway through my Sam’s Club trip.
