Amelia's new stats...

Well, Amelia had her 15 month "well baby" check up this morning and seems to be doing well. Her measurements have all gone up on the percentage scales. She's now at 30% for weight (up from 10%), 80% for height (way up from 55%) and at 60% for head circumference (up from 45%).

In other words, Amelia weighs 21 lbs. 7 ozs. and is 31.5 inches tall. She's still a tall, thin baby. In fact, this past drill weekend while showing pictures of Amelia to my shipmates in the office one of them pointed out, "Boy, she's a long girl; isn't she?" I had never really thought about it before, but in photographs she does look really tall and thin.

During our visit the doctor took a peek inside Amelia's mouth to check her teeth. After looking at her gums he told me, "She's getting her molars and her canines at the same time. If she's been grouchy, this might be her excuse." I took a good look in her mouth when she was crying on the table (she got her last shots today) and she's got a whole mouth full of teeth erupting all at once. This explains why she's been biting her toys so much lately.

So, the semester's almost here. I will, of course, do my best to keep everyone updated on baby's goings on. We may have a guest visiting this weekend which will allow for many opportunities for fun baby photos. Keep checking here for more baby news.
