Average size.

So the measurements are in from Carter's 4 month check up and he's perfectly average size. FOR AN 8 MONTH OLD.

Seeing as he is in fact half that age, he's quite large. Here's the breakdown:

Height: 27.5 inches; above the 97th percentile (meaning, that's as high as they go)

Weight: 17 pounds, 12 ounces (though he weighed over 18 when I brought him on the scale with me last week); around the 95th percentile

Weight for height: 10th-25th percentile, meaning he's proportional. Although, the rolls on that kid really make me wonder about that one.

Head: 44.5 centimeters, again above the 97th percentile.

The doctor called him "a big ol' moose." Seth is so proud.
