Bigger!

Here’s what I wrote on this blog three days before Molli Malou’s first birthday:

Molli had her 1-year doctor visit this morning. In addition to her vaccinations, we got all kinds of measurements and stuff. Head and length are normal (50th percentile on the button), and weight is 10th percentile but perfectly normal. As the doctor said, “There are big people and there are little people.” (The idea that Trine and I could combine to create a little person seems a little far-fetched, though.) She’s 75cm and 8kg, which is 30″ and 17.6 lbs.

Pediatric Nurse Elizabeth came by for the last of her home checkups today… she measured Maddie at 75 cm and 8.56 kilos. (30″ and about 18.7 lbs.) The same height as her sister at the same age, with a little more meat on her bones. She’s creeping up the percentile charts!

She’s ready to share meals with the rest of us and Elizabeth gave Trine some more tips on how we can get her to sleep through the night.

But overall, hun trives–she’s thriving!
