Four-month Checkup Results

Yep, that's right. Our boy continues to be somewhat freakishly large. So much so that the doctor was charting his growth on the 6-month scale before she got confused and remembered he's actually only 4 months old. She also tried to get him to put more weight on his legs and then said, "I'm expecting too much of you because of your size."

So here's Big Boy's stats:

Weight: 16 lbs., 12 oz. (That was actually a bit of a surprise —— I thought for sure he was 17 lbs.-plus)
Height: 26 inches, or as Jerry likes to say, 2-foot-2
Head circumference: 44 cm (I have no idea what this means, only that his head is large)

He's at the 90th percentile for weight and height and just over 75th for noggin size.

He also got four shots —— two in each thigh again —— and of course quite vocally announced his displeasure at having multiple needles jammed into his poor little legs. Man that stinks to watch. Like last time, he's having a hard time bouncing back to his normal self, but I'm sure he'll be fine in no time. And, on the plus side, he got new guilty-mama toys for his suffering. See, always a silver lining!

Well, we're off to have lunch with papa here pretty soon. Hope everyone is well. Love, W, J and K
