Little (big) man had his 9 month check-up yesterday and his pedi weighed him at 20 lbs even...which is about average for his age. Then the doctor measured the length of his body...the little stinker is 31 inches long. I knew he would be tall for his age, but what surprised me was
how long he really is. According to one baby growth chart, Mathias sits in the 94th percentile for his age and height. See for yourself...
What does the percentile mean? There is a wide band of normal growth shown on this chart for both boys and girls. This chart is divided into percentiles starting at 5% to 95% of the population. This means our son's height plots at 94% which makes him taller than 94% of the infants in the US and shorter than the remaining 6% of infants. So I have decided...
This mama's going to retire off her kid's income. Yippie!
