Megan's 8-Month Stats

Height: 26 7/8 inches

Weight: 20 lbs 0 oz


Wow, 20 lbs on the nose ... quite impressive. And for those of you wondering why Megan didn't grow any taller over the last two months, allow me to describe to you the measuring process ... Megan lays down on the examining table. The nurse pulls out her measuring tool ... a wood slide with hinges on either end. Mommy is in charge of the head; the nurse is in charge of the feet. The goal is for both people to get the baby to lay straight and stretch out and hold the hinges at right angles ... all while the baby wiggles to be free. The nurse actually took a second measurement, but Megan was annoyed enough at that time that we couldn't stretch her and she actually got shorter compared to last time. Very precise stuff.
