Ruby weighed in at 10.15 lbs. She was 23.25 inches and her head was 15.25 inches.
Length = 95th percentile
Weight = between 50th and 75th percentile
Head Circumference = 75th percentile
I found this amazing considering how giant her head looks to me. Then, I looked at daycares and saw some of those 95% head babies.
She also got 4 shots and some oral vaccinations and was super good for them. She yelled for shots 2-4, but stopped as soon as they were over.
Most important in her progress is that she has learned to smile!

Teaching young kids to do forward rolls can be challenging. Some of them still have a head that is proportionally much larger than their body.... Kind of hard to do a roll when you have a giant ball for a head that gets in the way. Eventually the body catches up...
Good gracious! The heads are still that proportionately big when they learn karate?
When a baby puts his arm straight up you may notice that his wrist just reaches the top of his head. Imagine what we would look like if adults were proportioned that way!
Not only can Ruby smile, but you managed the nearly impossible ... catching that smile on camera! Many a parent has tried and failed. Congrats!
She looks so cute!
By the way, I would think forward rolls would be easier with a large head, since your center of gravity is toward the top, it should just help you topple over.

That's called a forward face-plant.
