Shrimpin'

Remember when MM was 2 months old and she was in the NINETIETH percentile for weight? We called her Chubs.

Fast forward seven months, and because that little monkey crawls everywhere she goes, climbs up stairs (supervised of course- don't worry, Dad) and thinks that it's more fun to throw food on the floor than eat it, she weighs in at a measly 16 pounds, 6 oz which puts her in the eleventh percentile.

Quoting the nurse at our appointment, "I do believe she's the smallest of your kids yet. I mean, they're all small, but this one here is a shrimp."

Must be all that sushi I ate while I was pregnant (and if you're my midwife and you're reading this, I am totally kidding, I never ate sushi while I was pregnant.)

So here are her official stats at nine months:

Weight: 16#6 oz (11th)
Height: 27.5" (50%)
Head Circumference: 17.75" (77%)
