My growth progress at 7 months old

I am now 7 months old and it's time to report my growth progress again


Measuring at 72 cm long, I am still above 97th percentile. Great, isn't it?

Jing Er: Daddy, why am I 72 cm LONG and not 72 cm TALL? Last time, I can only lie down, therefore it's LONG, but now I am beginning to stand up, why not TALL?

Daddy: That's because of the way the measurement is taken. When you take measurement horizontally, then it's LONG and if it is taken vertically, then it's TALL. I take it horizontally.

Jing Er: (Sigh).. engineer!!

Anyway, here's my weight measurement.

I weigh about 8.8 kg and according to the chart, that has fallen to 90th percentile. That's great, isn't it?

Jing Er: Engineer Daddy, why is weight measured in kg? According to Isaac Newton, mass is measured in kg and force is measured in Newton. Since weight is a force due to gravity, then I am 86 Newton heavy and not 8.8kg heavy.

Daddy: (speechless) ...???!!
