I don’t remember using the “#” sign as shorthand for “pounds”, but I guess that explains why it is sometimes called “the pound sign”. This is an excerpt from My Baby Book, which my mother evidently stopped updating in 1971, when I was 3½. I saw my sister’s baby book and remember it being way more thorough than mine. She arrived 5 years before me, so I guess this kind of record-keeping was just a bore by the time I came along. See all the luscious details of my earlyearlyearly years at My Baby Book.
