9 Months Old

Natalie turned 9 months old on Oct 6th. Can you believe it??? At her well-baby appointment, it was decided that she is not even on the weight chart. She has no percentile associated with her weight. She weighs 14 lbs, 9 oz. Of course I was worried at first, but her doctor assured me that she's fine. She's meeting all her milestones, and "at least she's not obese." Good ol' Doc Perkins. I didn't feel ok with it until I checked out. The receptionist stated that she has a 24 month old daughter who only weighs 23 pounds (a normal weight for a one year old). She assured me that her daughter is eating, breathing, and happy. Just small. I can deal with that.

As for her other measurements. She's about 20th percentile for height, and 35th percentile for head circumference.

She is still 100% perfect though.

I wonder if Haley will be off the charts the other way. LOL! You're right though, Alie is perfect no matter what the charts say.
