Four-Month Visit

We just returned from Dylan’s four-month visit to the doctor. As we sat waiting in the office for the nurse, I turned to Geoff. I said, “I bet Dylan weighs 16 lbs. 8 oz.” Shortly after, we learned of the updates on Dylan’s measurements. His head is now 17 3/8”, which is between the 75th and 90th percentiles. His length of 26 1/4” is at the 95th percentile. And his weight was between the 75th and 90th percentiles at… yup… 16 lbs. 8 oz. That’s an increase of four pounds since his previous well check-up, which was two months ago. It’s almost a pound increase since we were in for a not-so-well check-up about three weeks ago. And it means that Dylan has more than doubled his birth weight. Overall, Dylan is healthy. His next scheduled visit to the doctor’s office is at six months old.
