Birthday stats and a first experiment with reverse gear
March 31st, 2008
I took Talia to be weighed and measured this morning. It was pouring with rain and she peered out at the raindrops through the clear plastic pram cover. The last time it rained this much on her in Perth she was still in the carrycot, not the forward facing pram. I wanted to get her weighed closer to her birthday but we had a physio appointment the Monday before, and the Monday after was a public holiday.
1 year 2 weeks old (9.5 months corrected)
Weight: 7.235g - somewhere between the 3rd and 10th percentile for corrected age, below the chart for actual age
She only gained 100g in the past month, but that included teething and a cold when she was off solids for almost 2 weeks, so I’m not too fussed on this occasion.
Length: 66.0cm (up 0.5cm) - 5th percentile for corrected age, below the chart for actual age
Head circumference: 45.5cm (up 0.8cm) - somewhere between the 75th and 90th percentile for corrected age, and between the 50th and 75th percentile for actual age
In the afternoon I put her down on the cork floor at the back of our house. Normally she’s on the carpet, and the cork is much more slippery. She moved! She SLITHERED! Backwards! I think she may have been intending to crawl forwards but it didn’t quite work out that way and in the end she just got frustrated and had a grizzle, but I was so impressed. That’s certainly going to be a good incentive to keep the floor swept.
