According to conventional wisdom, a baby should double its birth weight by the time they're six months old.
It took Millie less than four months.
At her latest checkup, Amelia Rose joined some elite company.
With a head circumference of 16.5 inches, she is ranked in the 70th percentile. That's up an inch and a quarter from just two months ago when she was ranked in the 50th percentile.
She grew 2 and 1/4 inches from two months ago and now stands (well, mostly sits and lays down) at 2-foot-1 1/4. Two months ago she ranked in the 75th percentile. She is currently in the 80th percentile.
And in the pink corner, weighing in at 16 pounds, 11 ounces, Millie "The Mauler" Hoesing! That's right folks, 16 pounds, 11 ounces. That places her squarely in the 95th percentile, up from 12 pounds, 3 ounces at her two month checkup which had her in the 75th percentile.
That got us thinking. We did some crude number crunching and here are some of the projections of Millie's growth:
At age 5, Millie will stand 3 feet tall, weigh 33 pounds and wear a men's XL fitted hat. Yikes.
