Gravity Is Stronger in Georgia
Or maybe the Ga doctor's scale is calibrated differently than the New York doctor's. Regardless, here are the stats from today's doctor's visit:
Head Circumference: 16" - 60th percentile
Length: 25" - 75th percentile
Weight: 17 pounds, 14 ounces - 97th+ percentile
The doctor said that Genevieve is "thriving" nicely, and he still doesn't believe that we should be overly concerned about her weight. He said that she has great muscle tone and is very strong (must be those farmer genes coming out in her). He's pretty sure that her length will eventually catch up with her width, which is good since when she is dressed all in one color she looks very similar to a peanut M&M.
He also said that we will be starting solids at 5 months, unless she feels she needs to start earlier. How will I know if she feels she should start solids sooner? If she eats her current volume and still isn't satisfied, it is time for the big leagues.
