New Stats: Big Girl

  • She's 20 lbs, 5 ounces, so she's finally broken the 20 lb. barrier! Which is good, since we just started using a new car seat because she was too long for the old one and her legs were getting squished up against the seat. So now she's facing forward in style.
  • She's 30.5 inches tall, which is 1 inch taller than she was three weeks ago when we put up her growth chart on the wall and measured. It seemed like was reaching more things (that she shouldn't) and it turns out we weren't imagining it, she's growing!
  • She's in the 50th percentile for height, and the 20-something percentile for weight. We still need to make sure she is getting plenty of fat. The doctor suggested putting butter on some things we feed her (neither of us use butter except for cooking). But she's drinking enough milk, all cow's milk now, no more formula as of about a week ago!
  • Next goal is to get her to drink the milk from a sippy cup and stop using a bottle. She drinks water fine from the sippy cup (no juice, we are anti-juice for her), but milk in it is a new idea. We tried a little today and she only took a couple sips. It's a start.
