What % is your child in now for head circumference size?

I was curious as to what percentage your children's head circumference is now...my daughter's was in the 5-10 percentile and has stayed there. How about all of your children since you have had them home?

Thanks!

Cheri

My son has always been in the 10% range. At this point, he is 2 years and 3 months and is SO smart. He can count to 11 and spell his name. He can sing his ABCs and knows 600+++ words. He can say sentences and ask questions. He is way ahead of other 2 year olds. So, I would not worry at all!

My son is in the 25% range. He had a really flat head when he came home, but it is shaping up nicely now.

Our daughter's head circumference is now around the 10th percentile (it was between the 5th and 10th when we first got her referral). When we first got our referral and sent it to be reviewed by a doctor specializing in IA, the doctor said "isn't it great - she's on the USA growth charts!" Basically she said as long as a Guatemalan baby was on and consistently remained on the US growth charts, it was a good thing.

My son is 18 months old and he is still has a 5% head circumference. You could never tell by looking at him. I think he is pretty smart too!

Our son was less than 3rd%, now he is 10%. Smart as a whip, so no worries here. Our now5 month old little girl is 5% for head circ and length, and get this - 95th percentile on US charts for weight. Yikes!!!

DD's OFC is in the 40%ile-- well was at 15mos anyway. That's stable from when she came home. My only concern is that while that is stable, and her head is growing, she is now in the 80%ile for weight and length. I'm looking forward to seeing where she is this mo at her 18mo check up.

At 6 weeks, our daughter was about 10th percentile for head circumference, 15th percentile for height (50th percentile for height at birth), and 70th percentile for weight (25th percentile at birth). She loves to eat!

Our baby is a little over a month old (see ticker below) and is in the 5% range. I am not too concerned, she was very alert in 1mo check-up pictures, and was sleepy, but alert in her video.
