For growing children, it is simple to track weight, height and head circumference, and other parameters.

For each year and month from birth to 18 years, for boys or girls, in pounds or kilograms, visitors of the site are able to see the weight range of various percentiles of the CDC growth charts.

These services are available to registered users without any cost.

Intermittent issue resolved

For various reasons, our disk space usage has increased sharply over past few weeks.  Between last night and this morning, we were running out of space for some of the functions.  You may have seen intermittent errors with photo uploads, etc.

We regret the errors.  We have temporary fix in place.  We will greatly expand the available space over the weekend.
