Beyond 100th Percentile

At 18 months and 3 weeks, Claire-claire is 13 kg and 84cm. Dr Tan told my papa and my mama that in terms of height, Claire-claire is on the 97th percentile. This means that only 3% of babies my age are taller than me. In terms of weight, Claire-claire is beyond the 100th percentile. To put it simply, Claire-claire is over-weight.
Dr Tan told my papa and my mama that after Claire-claire turns two, the fat cells in my body will be permanent.

My papa is in shock. My mama is in denial. Hopefully, this means that Claire-claire will be able to enjoy after-meals milk-milk for just a while longer.
