At 6 months my son was 17lbs ( he is in the 50%), my daughters were 14-15lbs at 6 months. And my nephew at 6 months was 22lbs. My nephew was definitely a big boy but now he is 1 1/2 and has thinned out a lot now that he is walking. If your pediatrition isn't concerned than don't worry about her. She looks totally normal to me! Everyone says my son looks big for his age too which actually confuses me because he is only 50 percentile according to the doctors).
