Mommy says: "I can't believe how big he is!"

When people see babies they usually say some form of the phrase, "He is getting so big!" In Janson's case he really is getting SO big. We went in for his 4 month checkup this week and here are the numbers:

Length: 27.5 inches 97th percentile
Weight: 16lbs 12oz 74th percentile
Head: 42 cm 50th percentile

To put this in perspective Janson is the same length as my nephew Will was when Will was 9 months old. I've been getting so frustrated, because Janson keeps growing out of his pj's. A few weeks ago he grew out of 3 pairs that were supposed to last up to 6 months. I thought I was just shrinking them in the wash or that I was going crazy. At least now I know Janson is just super long! And at this rate he will also grow out of his car seat at about 9 months.

Who knew that a girl as short as me would have a really tall baby?
