Month 6

At J's 6-month checkup, the nurse was surprised that Jacob only weighed 20 lbs - she was thinking more like 25. Then, the pediatrician kept calling him Chunky Monkey. Needless to say, I was a bit concerned.

I know, I know, I'm over-reacting.

But to calm my fears, I decided to plot J's growth on CDC's weight-for-length chart to see if J was heavy for his length.


Turns out, he's somewhere near the middle…so I can stop worrying.

6 month
Height 29 in (above 95th percentile)
Weight 20 lbs (75-90th percentile)
Head circumference 17.5 in (50-75th percentile)
