Weights

I decided to weigh all the children and see where they were on American weight charts. I do not have numbers for Maria or Paula. It was interesting to see how close in weight some of the kids are:

Age/Weight:
Nicoleta (5 months): 6.58
Daria (6 months): 10.44
Raul (6 months): 11.78
Alina (2 years, 5 months): 12.46
Roxana (6 months): 15.76
Daniela (1 year, 2 months): 16.20
Ionut (2 years, 4 months): 16.46
Roxana B. (10 months): 16.46
Cristi Daniel (3 years, 4 months): 16.60
Andreea B. (10 months): 17.32
Gabriela (2 years, 1 month): 18.10
Mihaela (2 years, 1 month): 20.10
Celine (2 years, 2 months): 20.78
Marius (2 years, 1 month): 20.88
Ion (2 years, 2 months): 22.12
Andrei (1 year, 9 months): 23.08
Alexandra (7 years, 8 months): 23.80
Andreea (1 year, 4 months): 23.92


Weight Percentiles (American Charts):
All the children were lower than the 1st percentile except the following:
Celine: 1st percentile
Ion: 1st percentile
Roxana B.: 7th percentile
Andrei: 9th percentile
Andreea B.: 18th percentile
Roxana: 41st percentile!
Andreea: 58th percentile!

Obviously most of them are small due to medical concerns, but luckily they are here so that we can fatten them up : )

Interesting numbers. I'm not too surprised, I guess.But, I thought some of the sturdier looking children would be more in the average
range; so I am a little surprised by how many are in the lower percentiles. Mer was always below the 3rd percentile when she was little and you were never above the 10th!
