Stats: 8 months, 1 week

Today, we went to the pediatrician for Ava's "9 month" well-baby checkup. 

Of course, she is only 8 months and 1 week, but it was the only time they had available until after we get back from Virginia.
Close enough.

Here are her stats:

Weight: 22 pounds 4 ounces (96% weight to age) (50% weight to length)

Height: 2 feet 6.25 inches (30.25 inches) (99.9%)

Head circumference: 17.5 inches (77%)

And in case you are worried Ava might grow to be 7 feet tall and be in the 99.9th percentile forever...

check out MY stats from my own 9 month appointment as a baby:

Weight: 22 pounds, 10 ounces

Height: 31 inches

It doesn't get much closer than that!

Any question that she truly is MY daughter?

Genetics: fascinating.

Thank you to my wonderful mom for recording these kinds of things!

It makes me sick to my stomach to think that her next appointment will be around her first birthday.

Her.FIRST.birthday?

........ not even going to talk about that .......
