Since someone is sleeping with his thumb and his blankie, I'll jot down his 4 month appointment stats:
Head circumference 16 1/4 inches, 48th percentile
Weight 16 pounds 6 ounces, 75th percentile
Height 26 1/4 inches, 90th percentile.
Still a really big boy! He hardly cried for his 4 immunizations, which made poor nurse Kim feel a little better about having to stick him. Dr. Jon was really pleased with him and said he could start rice cereal (barf!) and veggies. Supposedly nobody should start any of the other cereals until 6 months because of the gluten. I'm tempted to just wait the 2 months and begin on oatmeal... not like he's not gaining enough as it is or anything!
The weather has been doing its ridiculous 44 degree mornings and 78 degree afternoons all week, and it's supposed to be gorgeous (read: hot) this weekend, so we'll be going to home group and Erie Orchard and Nina's birthday party and church. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Care Bear stats
I know, I know. I'm behind once again. I do have more to post, but since I'm already getting barraged with craziness from Carrie, I'll just give you her 6 year old physical stats:
She's 37 pounds. She's 44 and a half inches tall. She asked Dr. Jon when she could ride in the car with no car seat and he had the hardest time keeping a straight face as he told her, "Well, Carrie, you're what we call petite. Now, the law says, the law says, you have to be four years old and forty pounds. You're not there yet. And then the recommendation is to be in a booster seat until you're eight. But the law says you have to be in a car seat until you're 4 years old and forty pounds."
She interjects, "but I ride the school bus and there are no seat belts on the bus."
Poor guy. He starts, stops himself, and starts again with a laugh, "Carrie, Ohio is backwards."
Then he told her she'd need a shot and she wasn't pleased. But nurse Kim is awesome, stabbed her fast with her first Hep A round (the next one happens anytime after 6 months from now and within a year) and did her up with a Daffy Duck bandaid. Add lollipop and life goes on...
