So Theo had his 4-month checkup today. Turns out he's a Jumbo Baby, just as we thought. For measurements, Theo clocked in at:
17 lbs 11.5 oz = 90th percentile
26.25 inches = 90th percentile
head circumference 44 cm = 90th percentile
The percentile means that he's larger than 90% of other babies his age. So as far as 90's across the board, he's nothing if not consistent! He's in excellent health and took his shots like a man. Crying, that is, but was quickly soothed in Daddy's arms with a bottle.

You know, Veronica weighs somewhere between 17 and 18 pounds. :lol:

S had her shots yesterday too. She cried, then nursed. I'm always amazed at how well they bounce back.
