October2013: 4 month pics

We had Daniel's 4 month check up on Friday and - big surprise - he's perfect! He weighs 14 pounds, 12 oz and is 24.6 inches long.

He is in the 50th percentile for weight. This would be cool anyway but is extra special when you remember that he was in the 50th percentile for weight at his 2 month check up. Our pedi says they like to see babies stay on an "even trajectory" in terms of growth (plus or minus 5%) so being dead on at two check ups is awesome.

For "height" he is in the 40th percentile. Brandon quipped that Daniel is going to be "tall like his dad" which the pedi found amusing - let's be real, there was no way this kid was ever going to be tall.

Daniel is a big flirt and was completely happy and cheerful at the appointment. He demonstrated his rolling talent and impressed the doc by hanging out on his tummy and looking at a book. He grabbed her hair and threw her a couple of huge grins.

And then the shots happened. He decided he hated all of us and squalled as if we were murdering him.

Anyway, here are the "official" 4 month pics . . . and some others for your time. Note the grip on the monkey's neck/face!
