toad statistics

we call finley 'little toad' because she scrunches her legs up just like a toad when we hold her (these statistics are for her, not an actual amphibian).

toad went to the doctor today and got four vaccinations. she was also weighed and measured. she is nine weeks old exactly. she weighs 11 lbs 10 oz. she is 23 1/2 inches tall. at birth, 63 days ago, you may recall her statistics were as follows: 7 lbs 13 oz; 19 1/2 inches tall.

this means, in nine weeks, she has gained about 4 lbs and 4 inches (about a pound of weight and and inch of height every two weeks, or, broken down even further, she is putting on about an ounce of fat (er, muscle?) and 1/16 inch in height every day).

we thought this might be some kind of record or something, but it turns out she is pretty average. depending on what "baby percentile calculator" you choose, finley is from the 50th to the 90th percentile in height and the 50th to 75 percentile in weight.

she may be of average size, but according to our own, personal baby cuteness calculator, she is 100th percentile.
