Percentiles, Percentages, P'shaw!

Sammy had his 4 month check last Friday.

Here are the stats:
Weight: 12.7 pounds
Length: 22.5 inches
Head Circumference: 15.5 inches.


Even though his adjusted age is 2 months they give us all the percentiles as though he were 4 months old. Therefore, he is sitting right around the 4th percentile for his weight and .09 percentile for his length. We are not dismayed. Everyone is always talking about how their baby is in the 99th percentile for everything. One friend even told us his son was in the 105th percentile for his height. I'm pretty sure that's not possible.
So we revel in his growth and development and know that God has given us a son that's up for the challenge of catching up to his peers... and then surpassing them!!

Haha that is OK that he is small! Logan is small too! Was only 20th percentile in weight and 40th in height last checkup! So the two cousins can be small together! :o)
