The doctor’s scale confirms what my lower back already knew


At six months, roughly the same size as Marco

Conrad had his six-month checkup today. He’s a few ounces short of 20 pounds and once again I’ve forgotten his length. “When do we start calling it “height”? Maybe when he’s standing?” The figures put him in the 90th percentile for weight, the 90th percentile for longness and the 50 to 75th percentile for head circumference.

Luckily he’ll be so big and tall that no one will dare make fun of his tiny head.
