Life at the 96th centile


At 12 weeks old S weighed 7.3kg.
At 16 weeks old she weighs 7.9kg (17lbs 6oz). This is the weight of an average 9 month old baby girl. He he he. My breast milk must be the Jersey Island full fat variety.

She has creases in her folds of fat in mid-forearm, above and below her knees, two on her thighs (which are reminiscent of those of an Eastern block weight lifter) and most of her neck never sees the light of day. She has dimples for knuckles, a crease on her elbow and her toes are like little sausages attached to the ends of her feet. What a lot of baby to cuddle! We think she is adorable. I didn't know what 'knee sausage' was until Sophie came along, and you see one sitting across her knee when you straighten her leg.

Here she is in the bath, getting water poured on her by a very helpful William.
