Post your Child's Growth Measurements

I thought it would be fun to post our kid's growth measurements, so this thread can be where we head after a monthly check up for our kids.

I don't know L.M's 6 month measurements yet, but her last check up at 4 months was:

25 inches long.
17 pounds 12 ounces

Good idea.

K is 21 lbs and 28 inches at 9 months.

At 4 months he weighed 13 pds and was 25.5 inches long.

At almost 6 months he weighs (unofficially, we have a digital baby scale) 14 lbs 9 oz. and his length I dunno.

At his 6 month check-up (at 6 months 2 weeks) Kian weighed 14 lbs 10 oz. and was 26.5 inches long.

well ill post kiers as soon as he gets it done next week!! its going to be very interesting

October - 4 month shots today
Length: 25'' 70th percentile
Weigth: 13 lb 9 oz 50th percentile

December - 6 month shots today
Length 26.5'' 75th percentile
Weight: 16.0 lb 50th percentile


March - 9 month checkup

Thane 8 months: 28.5 inches long 18.5 lbs (25-50% for weight, 75% height)

4 month check up

13 lbs 2 oz
24 inches long

Still wearing 0-3 except in PJ's and they are all 3-6

We are kinda moving into almost all 3-6 (except a few favs I can't let go of lol. She is just too darn tall for the onsies and stuff even though around the middle there is lots and lots of spare room. My husband picked out her jammies last night, and they were so tight they looked like a second skin on her.

well.... a word of warning.... if you haven't purchased in gerber onesies - DON"T!
The run SUPER small! I bought some 3-6 month ones and they are actually smaller than the Carter brand 0-3! I was so upset!

Theo @ 5 months

Weighed: 17 lbs 1 oz (50th centile)
Measured: 70cm (27.5 inches) (98th centile)

and yes, he is a long boy!! people are forever commenting on how long he is already, even strangers! When I say he is 5 months they are like crikey!! I think, yeah cheers for that!!

The lady at the carters store told me this abou their sizing. If it says 3 months it is 0-3, and 6 months is 3-6, etc.

Miniwear 3-6 months are proving to run small too

The doctor printed out his growth chart for me at his appt. yesterday. His head is the one thing I really watch. Here are some of his measurements.

Date..............Age.......................Height..............Weight....................Head
06/07/08......birth......................22.5 (97%).....10lb 2oz (97%)......35.0 cm (35%)
08/06/08......1 mos. 29 days.....24.3 (91%).....15lb 6oz (96%)......39.5 cm (41%)
10/22/08......4 mos. 15 days.....27.3 (96%).....17lb 6oz (82%)......42.0 cm (32%)

Note to self ... make the doctor print out a chart at our next appt.

Birth (40+5)- 7lb 3oz
1 month - 9lb
2 months - 11lb
3 months - 11lb 7oz
4 months - 13lb 8oz
5 months - 14lb 8oz
6 months - 15lb 5oz
7 months - 16lb 8oz

I haven't been able to get her to baby clinic to be weighed since going back to work. She is suddenly a lot heavier recently though, and judging by the fact that she seems to gain 1lb a month I think she must be somewhere around 20lb now.

Rowan is on the 25th centile.

I posted this the other day, but I guess it didn't go through. Jayden just went for her one year appt. Because she was sick for so many days and wouldn't eat, she lost quite a bit of weight but doc's not too worried. Here are her measurements:

Height: 30 in. (80th percentile)
Weight: 18lb 10 oz (15th percentile)

He also just gave the "ok" to turn her around in her car seat although i admitted to him that I already had done so. But I didn't tell him just how long ago I did :tongue:

Just wanted to bump this up......

At Owen's 9 month apt:

Weight 19 lbs 4 oz (30th)
Height 27 3/4" (50th)
I forgot what his head was but he's only in the 10th percentile for his head!

Lucy's head was 18 1/2'' They did not say a percentile for that. It is funny Owen is in the 30th percentile for weight, yet Lucy weighs less and they said she was 50 percentile. Maybe boys and girls have different charts?
