Out of curiosity, I googled a few growth charts to map out what percentiles Mackenzie's in. Mackenzie's 27 inches long and almost 18lbs (only a couple ounces short).
Growth Chart A:
As a 12 month old: below 5th percentile for both
As a 9 month old:: Length 25th percentile and Weight 25th-50th percentile
Growth Chart B:
As a 12 month old: Length below 3rd percentile and Weight at 5th percentile
As a 9 month old: Length 23rd percentile and Weight 29th percentile
She's doing great. :o) She's grown almost 10 inches since being home, which is terrific. One of her specialists the other day (I can't remember which one - either ped GI or ped surgeon) was happy to see her on the charts since she was so tiny during her first visit post-discharge.
Gosh I'm just in awe. She was born at 1 pound 11.5 ounces and a year later she's almost 18 pounds. And to go from being 12.75 inches at birth to 27 now... goodness. It makes my heart smile. :o)

It's a great feeling, isn't it?
Your little girl was born 10 days before mine! And, they are about the same size. That's so good because Lucy was full term but she's still on the small side.
Looks like we both have some birthday parties coming up :)
It makes my heart smile.
Mine too!
She's right with Autumn as well. Autumn weighs about 19 pounds and about 25 inches long. It amazes me too when I look at Mac's baby pictures and how she is now...what a blessing!
wow. amazing!
I am so happy to hear how well she is growing!!!!
She's so amazing!!!
Ace just turned 9 months last week and Mac is *exactly* the same height/weight.
