Retraction

I knew something was fishy when my sister-in-law said that Hannah's cousin Philip was only 32 inches tall. So, we measured Hannah last night. She is NOT 35 1/4 inches. I suspected as much. She is only 33 inches which puts her in the 50th percentile range. This has happened before, because the method they use to measure infants and toddlers is so inaccurate. At our pediatricians office they lay them on the table and mark the paper at the bottom of their feet and top of their head. Children laying on a table squirm! One time we went for an infant well baby appointment and Hannah had gotten shorter (according to their measurements), because the nurse had measured her too long at the previous appointment. Anyway, for the record, Hannah is 33 inches tall--which makes a lot more sense to me.
