At Amity's six month checkup (which was really a 6 month and 9 days checkup), Dr. Moore once again proclaimed that she is "gorgeous" and doing well. Her stats were:
Weight: 18 pounds, 13 ounces (93rd percentile)
Length: 28 1/4 inches (95th percentile)
Head: 17 1/4 inches (85th percentile)
As I promised at 4 months, it is only fair if I give my own stats at her age (this will not however be a continuous commitment on my part throughout the years!):
Weight: 20 pounds, 7 ounces
Length: 28 inches
I think I kind of prefer how they didn't give percentiles back then!
While I'm on the subject of height and weight...I recently overheard some people commenting on a two-year old little girl and how big she is getting. They were really talking about her height which would definitely have to be in the 95th or above percentile. It reminded me of my junior high years and my visits to my grandparents' church in Oklahoma. Their friends would continously make comments like, "Oh my goodness! You have gotten so tall! How tall are you now?" This would irk my Oma to no end. Did they not remember what it was like to be an awkward 13-year old and to want to blend in and NOT stand out in the crowd because of outward appearance? I remember her granting me permission to respond with a comment like, "Oh my goodness! You have gotten so fat! How much do you weigh now?" Of course, I never did and I know she wouldn't have really wanted me to! Just knowing that I had the empathy and support of my feisty grandmother helped me to find the humor and let it go.
That being said, please know that we will not be offended if you comment on how Amity is growing these days! However, if you continue to do so when she is 13, don't be surprised if she has a comeback! :)
Thanks to GDaddy and KK for this snazzy, super-soft, second-hand outfit! As you can see, Amity liked it so much she couldn't keep her tongue in!
