3 percent?!

Happy 6 month birthday Becca! Today is Rebecca's 6 month mark and I can't believe it! I feel like I just had her and yet it's hard to remember life before her. How odd. We went to her well-baby visit today and the poor thing had to get a bunch of shots. She was very sad about it, but now she is napping. Her 6 month stats were rather interesting (but not surprising really). Height: 24 1/2 inches (25%ile) Weight: 12 lbs, 11 oz (3%) HeadCirc: 17 1/4 (75%). So... in conclusion: bitty body, huge head. That's definitely my Becca. Once again I was rather alarmed at her tiny weight percentage. I'll be going back in a month for another weight check, at which point, I may need to start supplementing with formula. Emma was always really small like Becca... but not quite this small. Oh well, the doctor says she's healthy but wants to make sure she doesn't continue to go down in percentile on the weight chart. Regarding her very disproportionately large head, I attribute that to a huge brain... because she's just that smart. :)
