Some October Statistics For You

William and I just got home from his U6, also known as his one-year doctor check up.

Here are his latest stats:

80 cm / 31.5 inches tall (95 percentile)
9600 g / 21 lbs (25 percentile)
47 cm / 18.5 inches head circumference (75 percentile)

The doctor even noted in his Kinder-Untersuchungsheft that William 'Gedeiht gut' or 'Grows well'. I'm such a proud mom!

Interestingly enough, the statistics for this year's Oktoberfest were also posted today.

Here are 2010's stats:

6.4 million visitors
7 million liters of beer consumed (a new record high)
530,000 Hendls (chickens)
117 Ochsen (ox)
59 Kälber (calves)
950 million euro spent

and just for fun . . .
