So I’ve just been amazed that the boy is really NOT fitting into his 6-month clothes well at all—so I’ve been buying 9- and 12-month sizes (some are even 18-month!). I haven’t really thought that much about it, though—I do know he’s a little big for his age, although it’s nothing to be concerned about.
So I just happened to be reading an article on Parents.com about “Baby’s Measurements” and holy wah. Yeah, he is about the size of an “average” 12-month old!! 88|
The “average” measurements for a 12-month old is 29″—and he measured 28.5″ at his 6-month checkup a week ago!
The “average” weight for a 12-month old is 22#—and he weighed 19.7 at his checkup! (The average for a 6-month old is 16#!)
And head circumference is above-average, too! The average for a 12-month old is 18″ and I think he measured at 19″!
HOLY WAH!
Hopefully he will stay about this same size for a few months—one of my friends said her baby was in 9-month clothes for like four months!
I told you he was about the size of Aubrey!!!!!
