pediatric update

annie headed to the doctor today for her 15 month checkup. and, our girl was there with bells on ... well, maybe not bells. but at least a bow and a diaper.

the doctor was pleased with her stats

weight = 22 lbs, 6.5 oz (+1 lb, 5 oz)

height = 31.5" (+ .25")

head = 47 cm (+3.5 cm*)

this places her in approximately the 35th to 40th percentile for weight and 75th for height, according to the doctor.

and ... with her friendly disposition, interactive nature and sweet expressiveness, she is right on track.

the doctor reminds us to look for a big growth in her vocabulary in the next 3 to 6 months.

and maybe by then, she'll even have more than 5 teeth ...
