100th percentile for cuteness.



This morning was Ava's 6-1/2 month well baby checkup. Excuse me, she feels like typing... I must oblige or feel her wrath:
qwzlhh,m nyh v a MNJK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKJZKESIU87 JMHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRYRDF C B.

Okay that's enough.

She's over the 100th percentile foe height, at the 100th percentile for head circumference and 90th for weight. She's a big girl for her age, but since it's all proportional, she's all good.

As far as percentiles go, I've had it explained to me like this. Someone took a random sampling of 100 female babies every month for X months. They made graphs of the height, weight and head circumference data. 0 was the smallest baby, 100 was the largest. So, in the case of height, Ava would be taller than all 100 other 6-month-old baby girls.

We're glad she's healthy. Period.
