six month appointment
Fern had her six-month pediatrics appointment today, and came out as:
- 18 pounds, 12 ounces (exactly twice her birth weight!)
- 26.5 inches long
- 45.0 cm head circumference
All those numbers put her pretty close to the 90th percentile. Dr. Goodman did say that growth will slow somewhat for a while, but it's likely that she'll still be large for her age for a while. People often guess that she's 10 or 12 months old...
The photo, by the way, is of the newly-minted six-month old enjoying the soft rubber ball that Grandma Joanie brought her a couple weeks ago; we're affectionately and obviously calling it the "boob ball!"
