Everything Scrappy: Head, Paper, Now

Head, Paper, Now

Monday was a big immunization day for Ms. Hayden. I was rifling through the papers afterwards to look for her new medication dosage and glanced at her percentiles. I saw 92.98% and assumed it was her weight. Later I realized it was her head circumference. And there's a 60 percentile point spread between her head and weight percentiles. What? I carry that kid around all day, I thought for sure she was up in that 90th percentile. What's that delicious chub made of? Marshmellows? Probably.

So...whatever. Nobody cares about percentiles unless it's really out of the ordinary. I was more excited that my kid has an unusually large head for her body and I get a tidy reason to post one of my all time favorite movie moments.

Actually, this one makes me laugh harder.

The holidays were an absolute dream, I'm so glad we've been able to get so close to your precious little ones over the past few months.
