We took Nora in for a well baby check-up last week and I was kind of puzzled when the pediatrician said she was 50th percentile on height since she's having to wear 12 month pants already. Our doctor's office just makes pencil marks on the exam table to mark the length and the poor girl was just waking up when we tried to stretch her out to check her length. So I stretched her back out before we left and saw, sure enough, she was about 3/4 inch longer than the original pencil marks. My curiosity got the better of me this morning so I actually remeasured her (fully awake) and looked up a growth chart online: 95th percentile.
