It all adds up



Yesterday Ben and I accompanied Sam to his 9 month check-up at the pediatrician's office. Sam's latest stats are as follows:


Weight: 18 lbs. 6 oz. (he's the 25th percentile of the national average for babies his age)

Length: 27 1/8 inches (also 25th percentile)

Head circumference: 46 cm (70th percentile!)


The pediatrician said that he's not surprised about any of these stats as both Brian and I are shorties (not his exact words) and intelligent people (his words exactly!). He also said that Sam is ahead of lots of babies his age with his vocalization and his motor skills. He actually pushed the Radio Flyer wagon across the living room a few days ago! Super baby!
