Punky's weight check

Punky went in for a weight check on Monday (6 weeks after her 6-month check-up). She weighed 15 lbs, 15 oz. and was 27 1/2". This means that she gained 1 lb. and 3 oz. and grew 1" in 6 weeks!!! I think that's pretty good! She went through a phase where she was supposed to gain 1/2 to 1 oz. per day but only gained 4 oz. in 4 weeks. This is what prompted the end of breastfeeding and the introduction of formula, which was a horrible transition! She has had to go in for weight checks every 2-6 weeks since that time. She is now in the 25th percentile in weight and the 75th in height. At 6 months, she was in the 10th percentile in weight and the 90th in height. I think she is finally leveling out!

Of course, my Mama says that I looked like a "concentration camp survivor" during my childhood...(check out my uneven mullet!)
