Smaller than average?

How does someone only in the 25%tile have thighs like this???

Lily had her doctor's appointment and she is 25th%tile all across the board. 17lbs14oz, 27 1/4 in. The doctor said around 9 months, genetics starts to kick in and weight and height settle into a pattern for a while. Genetics? I'm pretty sure there's no one in our house that is 25th percentile. Maybe it's a stray midgit gene from Aunt Andrea.

Healthy as a horse...and cute as a button. The doctor came in the room and gave me this big schpeel about how 9 month olds don't usually tolerate the exam well...they are developing stranger anxiety, etc etc. Not Lily. She grabbed all the doctor's tools, patted the doc on her face, and was generally giggly and friendly through the whole thing. Doc picked her up after examining her and said, "You are just the sweetest thing!"

Yea, we know. ;)

Sounds perfectly healthy to me! And if 9 months starts a pattern, then Kaleb should weight like 200 lbs by now, yikes!
