My Awesome Son...

Okay, I don't want to make everyone sick of me bragging about my son - so that's why I haven't really written much about him. I know he's awesome, but I also know other people sometimes get sick of hearing the awesome stuff he's been doing lately. But I had to share this. So we go in for his checkup this week.

His head size, can't remember the actual number, but it's about average for his weight. His weight...well, it's up to almost 13 and a half pounds, which is about in the 75th percentile. So he's eating healthy, right? But wait, there's more! Yeah, his height. He clocked in at almost 26 and a half inches - for a ten week old?! They recorded that as >97%. What does that mean? Well, my wife found a little chart on the internet which has this pretty little rainbow to display the growth curve. The lowest color being the shorter, slower growing babies, the middle the average growing babies, and the highest color the fastest growing babies. Well, he started in the middle - just average. But then, instead of following the little "rainbow path" like everyone else, he just took off running for the sky - literally. He busted out of the rainbow like a five year old after chocolate.

That's my boy!
