As Long as a Banana

It's that time again.  Time to figure out how big our baby boy is.  Here is the exact paragraph from my "favorite" website:

Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measuremens are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)

Without getting into my typical rant on whether or not the object suggested is actually the size they indicate (it isn't), I have found a few other things (by simple Google search) that I think might be a bit of a better indicator. 

Things that are roughly 10 inches long:


Or for those of you more into the Phish experience:

And for those of you with no imagination whatsoever (Scott):

My Hand.
