Weighed and Measured

We decided to take Alexander to the midwives for his 2 month check which included being weighed and measured.

Alexander is now 59 cm (1ft 11in) and weights 5.94 kg (13lbs 2oz).  That's 50% in length and 70% weight.

The midwife kindly agreed to weight and measure me.  I'm too big to lie down so I sat in the bowl.  It was awfully cold on the metal but I could see the scale and it read 10.68 kg (23lbs 8oz).  That's about 70%.

As I'm too tall for the baby chart I got to use the wall chart.  I had to stand on the feet prints and then the midwife lowered the leveller to rest on my head.  It read 77 cm (2ft 6in) which is about 40%.

It looks like Alexander is following my example.
