Height: 25.5 inches (90th percentile)
Weight: 18 lbs 10.2 oz (100th1 percentile)
Head circumference: 16.5 inches (didn't bother telling us the percentile)
Shots: two in her right thigh and one in her left thigh (unhappy baby, got over it after turning red with anger and then nursing to contentment)
Development: seems to be pretty average on grabbing skills, above average on pushing up on her forearms during tummy time (but completely uninterested in rolling over), above average in standing (horrible balance), super alert (too alert?), coos and smiles appropriately, excellent eye contact
Comments from the pediatrician: "She seems old for her age."2 "I love her chubby limbs!"
Love and building immunities,
Jenna and Amelia
1 Hmm. Is there such a thing as the 100th percentile? I was always under the impression it was a mystical number, only to be obtained by sampling the ENTIRE population and to be proudly awarded to the data point with the truly largest value... Well, the pediatrician is under the impression Amelia is IT.↩
2 I think the idea she was trying to convey was that Amelia is so alert and attentive, like an older person in a baby's body. I think, anyway.↩
