SteelyKid turned four months on Sunday, and thus went in for a four-month check-up today. Since I’m sure you’re all dying to know her progress, here’s the OBGraph:
She’s one ounce shy of 14lbs, putting her in the 55th percentile for her age. She’s now 25.5 inches in length, up from her initial 20, which is the proportional equivalent of me growing a bit more than 20 inches in four months. Babies grow really fast.
See Kate’s LiveJournal update for more fun baby stuff. No graphs there, though– I’m the scientist in the family.
Enjoy it! Four months is a very happy, and bubbly age. It’s easy to get them to laugh. They discover that those strange things waving in the air are their feet and stare at them, fascinated. It’s delightful.
So far.
If you’re the scientist in the family, what’s with the imperial units?

I always use the units that are natural for the problem under consideration. It’s the same as spectroscopists reporting energies in inverse centimeters, or theorists setting c=1.
So the first point is a Feynman point?
I didn’t know babies dropped in weight after a certain period of time.
Dylan, it’s standard for them to drop weight right after birth, and then gain it back in the first couple of weeks.

The things you get to learn on a physics blog are unending. 🙂
