Tink's 9 month checkup

[marhwama]

Well, Tink had her checkup today - she's lost a little weight, now that she rolls everywhere (still not crawling)... She's 20 pounds, and 38.5 inches tall, and 46 cm around the noggin. The doc says she's 80th percentile for height, 70th for weight, and 50th for her head. Last checkup she was 80/90/50, so she's right where she ought to be, her head

I'm wondering if the nurse didn't measure her wrong - my son is only a little above 3 feet tall, and I didn't think she was as tall as him!

When they get up from naptime, I'm going to make them stand next to each other!

Yeah, the doc said she looks like she'll be tall and skinny.

I may have to look at the soap bars - she doesn't mind the eczema, but it is all over her little body...

Errrg -- I never get flu shots, as they make me sick when I get them, and I often end up gettting sick anyway...

Poor T!nk. If it's any consolation, my skin is acting up too. {{f(-_- )

A rolling T!nk is cutie overload! (((((((p*^-^*)v

I'll have to try to get some video of it - she really is a cutie, zooming around by rolling.

I think it was a messup because at 9 months 90% is 29 inches according to the growth chart I have. Logan is 4 and is only a few over 38 inches. o.O

My brother had severe ezcema growing up, I remember doing anything to alleviate it (including coating him in crisco!). I know she's not at a year yet, but honey added to the water helped him in ways.

They do have this new baby oil/lotion thing, I use it on Liam's dry scalp and it doesn't get everywhere.

I bet the nurse meant to say 28.5 inches!

And crisco?? Your brother must have smelled like pie crust! :-D
