Percentiles

I'm not one to get hung up on growth percentiles, but I do think it's fun to run them every so often for kicks. I marvel at how different my kids are, and this is just one more (albeit small) way to see how unique God made them. Here's where they fall in the lineup today:

Malachi:
At 10 years:

your child is 67.5 pounds, and that is
at the 39th percentile for weight.

your child is 54.75 inches, and that is
at the 51st percentile for height.


Graham:
At 8 years and 4 months:

your child is 58.5 pounds, and that is
at the 49th percentile for weight.

your child is 54 inches, and that is
at the 88th percentile for height.

Caris:
At 4 years and 10 months:

your child is 45.5 pounds, and that is
at the 84th percentile for weight.

your child is 46.5 inches, and that is
at greater than the 97th percentile for height.

Canaan:
At 14 months:

your child is 27.5 pounds, and that is
at the 88th percentile for weight.

your child is 31 inches, and that is
at the 54th percentile for height.

  1. That is so neat! My grandma has a wall in her house that has our heights from we used to visit her as children...she still measures us when we come for a visit. It barely has room for more now! Blessings to you and your family!!
