Today, Elsa had her 9-month “well baby” checkup with the pediatrician. We have been very lucky that Elsa hasn’t been sick so far in her life, short of one minor cold a few weeks ago. So we’ve only needed to visit the doctor for the standard checkups and vaccinations.
We already knew that Elsa was a big girl, but today’s checkup really crystallized for us how big she really is. As the doctor put it: for her age, there are essentially no babies bigger than Elsa.
She weighs 25lbs, 4oz, is 29.5″ long, and has a head circumference of 18.7″.
This means that, for her age, she is heavier than 99.5% of girls, has a head bigger than 99.7% of girls, and is taller than 97.7% of girls. From anecdotal evidence, we can also attest that she can yell louder than pretty much any other baby. We wonder sometimes if she’s part of some new master race of babies who have come to conquer us…
Besides her extreme size (which the doctor doesn’t think is a problem) Elsa checked out well; there were no problems of note.
We are very thankful for her continued health!
