Here we grow again

At each of Maison's wellness checks they do a height and weight measurement and provide the percentile of how they compare to other children the same age.  When Maison was born she weighed 7 lbs 9 oz and was 21 inches long.  At her 2 week appointment on Nov. 9 she was 8 lbs 11 oz and 21 3/4 inches long.  Dec. 22 was Maison's 2 month check-up so Adam and I wagered on how big she was going to be and we were both way off.  Maison weighed 11 lb 14 oz and was 24 inches long.  24 inches long?  Are you kidding me?  Our 2 month old is 2 feet tall and grew 3 inches in two months?  I didn't ever grow 3 inches in 2 years much less in 2 months!  24 inches is 95% for height meaning she is taller than 95% of babies her age.  At this rate Maison will probably be taller than my 5' 3" by the fifth grade.  She goes in for her 4 mo check up on Feb. 22...any guesses on how tall she'll be by then?
