Percentiles

I took Chloe Jo to get her 18 month shots today. We went to the health department so it wasn't an actual check-up. She screamed so loud! I'm sure the whole waiting room could hear her. We are done with shots until 2013 now. I weighed and measured her myself after we got home this morning.

According to my scale, Chloe Jo weighs 23 1/2 pounds now. I'm not sure how accurate that is because I took her to the post office and weighed her on their scale and it said 22 pounds. She was fidgeting, though, so that scale couldn't get an accurate reading either. She is slowly going up in percentiles. She is almost to the 50th! I don't know if that's a good thing or not. I kind of liked having a little girl who was small. I don't want her to have to struggle with weight issues when she is older like I have.
Chloe Jo is 31 3/4 inches tall. I just measured her last week and she has grown a 1/4 inch since then. I knew she was having a growth spurt. Her dresses that fit just 3 weeks ago have all gotten short on her. She is in the 50th percentile for height. Maybe she will end up being tall like her Momma and Daddy after all.
