Belle’s 8-year-old check-up

Belle is doing well! She measured up at 53.5 inches tall (91st percentile) and weighed in at 71 pounds (87th percentile). She is tall, and also consistent.

Unbeknownst to me, Belle grabbed herself a pamphlet in the pediatrician office about puberty in girls, so we've had quite a few interesting conversations since her annual check-up.

Our little baby is 8! How did that happen!?!?
