From "Bubba" to "Bruiser"

MD had his 4-month check-up yesterday with Dr. Ha. Well, we all knew he loved his food but how much does he really love his food??

* Weight: 18lbs 4oz - 95% larger than other kids his age
* Height: 27.5 in. - 100% larger than other kids his age

So, basically there's like 3 other kids in the US that weigh more than him and he's like the tallest 4-month old ever :)

We just love, love, love that he's a big boy and we're so honkin' proud of him! Poor thing had to endure 3 shots and 1 oral medication yesterday. Well, you'd think he would have eaten that oral stuff up (like he did last time) but this time he spit every bit of it out. And the shots...well, the biggest cry I've ever seen come from him. But, he only screamed for about 30 seconds then he calmed down. Well, mommy was also holding his dinner right in front of him the whole time so he had a pretty yummy treat waiting for him.

Poor baby had to go through those yucky shots- sounds like he did good though!

Wow...Elly is 13 months and just now topping the scale at 18.5 pounds. She needs to take some eating lessons from MD. At the rate she is going, she'll be in the second grade and still facing the rear in her car seat.
