Chaela's Measurements


Hey family. I posted this on my own blog, too, but I don't know how many of you check that, so here it is!
Yesterday I was wondering about how big Chaela was, since she hasn't had a doctor's appointment in a while. It might not be accurate, but I measured her and weighed her here at home, so here's what we have.

Height: 26.5 inches (she's grown 6.5 inches since birth)
Weight: 15.0 pounds (she's gained 8 pounds 6 ounces since birth)
Head Circumference: 17.6 inches (?)

So she's grown half a foot and more than doubled her weight! Yay! I looked online and what I found says that she's below the 5th percentile for weight, right about in the 25th for height, and in the 77th percentile for head circumference. So she has a big head. Oh well, she may be small, but at least she's smart!

She is partially a McFarland, brains are a given! And still adorable.

Of course. Thank you! I also think she's cute. Just think, by Christmas she'll be walking and maybe saying a few words!
