So Kaitlyn is still a small kid. At 10 months old she only wieghs 7.4kg (16.3lbs) which puts her in the 5th percentile for weight. Height wise she is 69cm (27in) tall which puts her in the 15th - 20th percentile for height.
We are not too concerned (as our Dr is not concerned) and I think it's because
a) we are asian and these charts are generally for caucasian babies
b) kaitlyn is really active. Always wriggling, crawling/dragging her self everywhere and walking (with assistance) when ever she can.
Just last night she chased me around our Ottoman for a good 10 mins. She also a really good eater. Honestly the amount of food that she consumes is amazing.
So pehaps she's going to be one of those girls who is petite and can eat anything they want... i was kinda like that (except I wasn't a girl, LOL) until i stopped growing... around the same time I started uni. Well the rest is history (and a spare tire and man boobs)

Maya's the same. Really active and not much weight gain. The charts are based on formula fed babies who are bigger.
ahh i didn't know that. Hitomi told me that our Dr asked if kaitlyn was always that active... which she is, so our Dr said that her constant activity is probably why she's not gaining weight and is therefore not concerned.
