Averages
Today was Asher's two month doctor's appointment. Meg and I have commented with increasing frequency about his rapidly increasing size. It feels unlikely that at one point we worried that, as the nurses suggested, we might have to supplement his feeding. With what I don't know. Steakums maybe?
So it was a surprise when Dr. Wong whipped out her baby sizing chart, pointed at a seemingly arbitrary point and told us Asher measures in right at the 50th percentile. 50 percent. Totally average.
That's great news, really. I feel the pain of all you parents with kids in the 90th percentile and above. That's gotta do a number on you. At three months, our nephew Jack was up there. Plus, that kid's a furnace. It takes a toll is all I'm saying.
In related news, Asher's head measures in around the 25th percentile. Average body, tiny head. That in itself is a minor miracle. The Haury's are known for their big, big heads.
