He's Huge!

Our son is huge. We have learned that over and over again this week. We started out at the doctor's office for his six month appointment even though he's already quite close to seven months. Brighton is again in the 90th percentile; he's a very big boy: 20 pounds & 9 ounces, 28 inches long, and a 45.7 head cirumference. We've also been out and about quite a bit this week running into other babies and toddlers. These interactions have confirmed countless times that Bright is a tank.

We've had a couple of firsts this past week too. We went to Russ' with Brighton for dinner Saturday night - just the three of us. He sat in a high chair and ate his food there while Jon and I had a four course meal for $23. You know you're parents when you rediscover how great Russ' is. The food and service were both wonderful, and more importantly we really felt like we were living it up.

Lastly, we made a Christmas ornament of Bright's hand print - not as easy as I expected, but it's finished and now hanging on the tree.

I don't think he is that huge, when I held him in nursery yesterday, he didn't seem that heavy, maybe because I carry around a 22 pound wiggler everywhere! Hope you have a great holiday season.

I know what you mean! Both my boys are still Off the charts...over 95th. Its crazy when they show me the curve and the dot is like so high up! Needless to say, i am so thankful for growing boys, and my arms always are about to fall off!

My boys are rather large as well. I am so proud of them.

Laney was 20 lbs at her 15 month check-up! Isn't it crazy how different our little ones can be? You have a cutie on your hands!
