We had Nathaniel's 4 month check-up yesterday. It was originally for the 5th but we had to reschedule because the doctor was unexpectedly out of the office. Nathaniel is now 19 pounds 13 ounces and he is 27.75 inches long. That means he has officially doubled his birth weight and added almost 7 inches. His weight has been following the average growth curve pretty well (the first picture) but his length is just shooting up! He is going to be one tall little boy if he continues. If you follow the middle line which is the average height and weight for babies you will see that he is the average weight and height of a 9 or 10 month old. haha!
And that makes sense to me because he has out grown about half of his 6 month clothes now. Mostly he wears 6-9 month clothes with the occasional 6 month piece of clothing because that company runs large. He is also in size 3 diapers but I worry he is out growing those, too. It says they last until 28 pounds but he keeps blowing out and that is what happened last time we needed to go up a size. Maybe 28 pounds is for a shorter baby. Or maybe he is just blowing out because he wants too. : )
He is working very hard, trying to crawl. He moves his legs and arms but hasn't figured out how to get his belly up.
He also LOVES to eat. Daddy is still the one who feeds him solids the most but occasionally Mommy gets too. He has reached the point where he really likes to play with his food too. I think he likes the squishy feeling. And he likes to bang his bowl and spoon on the tray.
Oh, no! I made a mess!
