You might have heard about the picture of CBS's anchorwoman Katie Couric and how it was Photoshopped to make her look slimmer. Here's one link to a story about it, but put some variation of "Katie Couric thinner Photoshop" into Google and you'll find tons of others about it.
The reason I bring it up is this - based on Penguin's 6 month check-up today, allegations have been made...
Alleged "Slimmed Down Version"

No, seriously, here are her stats:
Height: 26 1/2 inches 78th percentile
Head Circumference: 41 1/2 cm 23rd percentile
Weight: 17 lbs. 14 oz. 100th percentile!!!
Yup, top of the charts, our girl! Go, Penguin!

Ok, so if she's 100th, what the heck is Sprout's 19 + pounds??? 6 months already? My how time goes by.
Different charts? Everything over 17 lbs. somenumberofoz. is 100%? *shrug* I don't know, I just know that's what the nurse told us.
(Dr. said not to worry - BF babies often are chubbsville for the first while but that the percentage of fat in breastmilk starts decreasing about now so she'll gradually (eventually) slim down a bit. Pumpkin was not quite so extreme, but also rather chunky around this age.)
Either that or they just don't want to freak me out and write everything as 97% +... Isn't it nice to know that they're healthy and getting enough to eat though? I can't imaging having to constantly worry about that.
Penguin is beautiful just as she is! She doesn't need the photoshopping! She should be proud of her "curves" ;)
Ours was always about 65-75% but then last spring, was 25-35%, so now I have to take her in on Thrusday to make sure she's catching back up. Appraently they often grow over the summer. I have a feeling she's okay now, but it will be nice to har it.
Jaysan mentioned she was, um, cuddly?
