Milk does a body good, apparently.

Long girl.I took Em for her one-month physical this morning.  Today she’s 22 inches long and exactly 10 pounds.

That means she’s gained 2 pounds + 7 ounces and 2 1/2 inches since her first pediatrician visit at 3 days old (she had lost about 7 ounces between birth and my milk coming in).

Wow!  That’s a lot of growth.  No wonder she sleeps so much.  If I were busy growing bone and stockpiling fat I’d probably fall asleep every chance I got, too.

In case you’re curious about percentiles, that puts her at 75 and 75.  She’s slightly smaller than Rosco was at two months, but I don’t know if this growth pattern is going to hold out.  She might just be making up for that last cramped month in the womb and may slow down in the next four weeks for all I know.  We’ll see.  Regardless, Rosco is projected to reach about 6’2”.  At least if Em stays in the 75th percentile for height, when they’re teenagers and trying to beat the shit out of each other their size difference won’t be so huge.  :-\
