Children Update

By codemonkey uk (Mon Mar 13, 2006 at 08:12:31 AM EST) children (all tags)

The boys got a check up today. I guess if your some kind of HuSi noob and/or don't know who I am IRL, then you won't know or care about this.

On the other hand, if you happen to be a old-timer, or perhaps a one of my real-life friends or family (Hi Mum!) - assuming any of them still check here - then this might be of interest to you.

Karl: 10.77kg / 77cm

Dylan: 12.57kg / 93cm (hc 43cm)

What, no pix? by wiredog (4.00 / 1) #1 Mon Mar 13, 2006 at 08:17:46 AM EST

How can we opine on the relative cuteness of the two (as compared to each other) without pix?

relative cuteness compared to each other?? by DesiredUsername (4.00 / 2) #4 Mon Mar 13, 2006 at 08:29:25 AM EST

Relative Cuteness in the metric system is always relative to a known standard of cuteness (kittens), with comparisons between samples plotted on a log scale. You can't compare one sample to another directly and get any kind of scientific numerical result. Compare:

Gold is denser than wood

Gold has a relative density of 19.3, while wood has a relative density of around .5. Therefore gold is 40 times denser than wood.

Is that the S.I. kitten unit, relative to the unit kitten held in formaldehyde in Paris?

SI kitten, yes by DesiredUsername (2.00 / 0) #10 Mon Mar 13, 2006 at 09:40:50 AM EST

But formaldehyde has found to sharply decrease the RC value of kittens.

What a man, and his collection of well-preserved dead kittens do, in the privacy of their own laboratory/dungeon, is nobody's business but their own!

I guess they have to consent, don't they?

How's the rate of Dylan's head growth doing? by Rogerborg (2.00 / 0) #5 Mon Mar 13, 2006 at 08:33:35 AM EST

Is there a chance he'll catch up? Sorry if this is a bit personal, I'm hoping to hear that the prognosis may be positive.

life by codemonkey uk (2.00 / 0) #6 Mon Mar 13, 2006 at 08:51:52 AM EST

and living with the truth...

Chances are that he will always be behind, his speach and mental development is delayed, his physical size as well. But, he has caught up some and now has steady growth on the same curve gradiant as normal, but below the 1st percentile.

Given his head size he is doing very well. From that point of view we are lucky his problems are not more severe. A child with his growth stats would be expected to have more problems mentally and physically than he has.

That's good news by Rogerborg (4.00 / 2) #12 Mon Mar 13, 2006 at 10:07:26 AM EST

From the little Googling that I've done, starting small but growing steadily seems to be less of a problem than growing and then stopping. Fingers crossed.

My main worrys these days are the bullying he will probably end up getting at school, and the restraining order I will probably get when I find out about it ...

I remember way back by blixco (4.00 / 1) #7 Mon Mar 13, 2006 at 09:17:56 AM EST

when new baby was a new baby. I'm sure the sticker shock has worn off by now, and you've probably been through the first maintenance period and are well on your way to having a smooth running baby.

smooth running by codemonkey uk (4.00 / 2) #9 Mon Mar 13, 2006 at 09:34:01 AM EST

Well, he needs to walk before he can run ... he manages a stable free-stand now, but attempts at a walk result in a quick crash and a return to crawling.

Dylan calls him turtle for a reason...

: Turtle! by blixco (4.00 / 2) #11 Mon Mar 13, 2006 at 09:42:31 AM EST

That's an excellent nickname for a baby.
Maybe it'll stick with him. My brother used to cll me jerk-ass jerk. That stuck for, like, years.
