Helen had her 6-month check-up today (although she is actually 6-and-a-half months). In addition to four vaccinations (3 shots and 1 oral drops), which she took like a champion, she smiled her way through an exam.
She is 27 inches long (75th percentile) and 16 pounds (50th percentile). I found this surprising as she looks like such a nice, chubby baby to me. According to the doctor, this is just a very chubby age, so she is actually less chubby than average. I will have to feed her more! ;) (Just kidding; the doctor is not at all concerned that she is underweight - she has tracked those percentiles since birth.)
Her head size is the only thing moving on the percentiles - fortunately in the correct direction. She moved from 10th percentile at birth to 25th percentile now. As the mother, I definitely approve of starting with a smaller head.
