We took Joe to the doctor today for his 4 month check-up... (Can you believe he is already 4 months old?!) After a couple of months of anyone and everyone commenting on what a big boy he is, I fully expected him to measure much bigger than Jack did at this age. (My back was also predicting that he would weigh a lot!) Here's what we learned:
Weight: 15 lbs, 12 oz (putting him in the 75th percentile)
Height: 25.5 inches (in the 75th percentile)
Head circumference: 42cm (50th percentile)
Jack weighed 15 lbs, 5 oz (60%) and was 27" (90%) and had a head circumference of 44cm. So, maybe Joe just looks a lot bigger because he is shorter and, in comparison, his body to head ratio is larger :). I guess Jack was tall and thin(nish).
We're still not sleeping well at night, but we thank God everyday that we have a healthy boy!
