At six months, Max is a giant. At his appointment today, he weighed in at 19 pounds, 1 ounce (75th percentile). His height was 27.5 inches (85th percentile; but mom is a little doubtful that the nurse got the measurement right*) and his head... oh lordy, his head. We knew he had a big noggin, like Sputnik! His head circumference was 18 inches, which puts him in the 92nd percentile. That's right - only 8 percent of 6-month old baby boys in this country have bigger heads than him!
I guess the "diet" that Max put himself on at daycare hasn't hurt him much.
* Mom took a quick measurement later and found that Max was closer to 26 inches - not 27.5. But I guess it depends on how much he squirms.
