6-Month Checkup

We took Leilani in for her 6 months checkup a week early. She was in great health, no more signs of the 3-day fever over the weekend except for a slight rash, which made us speculate about roseola. Or maybe a tomato allergy, but that is a different story—still working a blog post on red foods.

Leilani is 27 3/16 inches long, between 69 and 70 cm. This is tall for her age: it’s the average length for a 9 months old, and still OK for 11 months. At 16 pounds (7.250 kg), her weight is exactly right for her age. We suspect she lost almost a pound while she was sick though because she lost one of her chins. Her head circumfrence is 42 cm, which is also in line with age, though her height. Dr Ancharski doesn’t call her too skinny, and we think it makes her look nicer proportioned than the average baby, and helps with all her activities.
