Sort of Big. Sort of Brave.

Leo had his four month check-up yesterday. He weighed in at 15 pounds and was 25.5 inches long. This puts him in the 57th percentile for weight and the 74th percentile for height. Last time it was reversed (71st percentile for weight and 52nd percentile for height). So basically he went from short and fat to tall and skinny. Although from the way the nurses were going on and on about his chunky thighs, I don't think anyone would call him skinny.


Then he got a couple of shots:


You probably heard the screaming.

And by the time we left he was fast asleep. When he woke up he thought it was just a bad dream.

Leo's thunder thighs are so powerful he popped the bandaids! At lease that's what my co-worker Clare said. I say Leo is as precious as ever. Maybe Leo was dreaming about Grandmother and Granny Jo!

Yes, he did pop off his band-aids from all that kicking! The nurse must have thought I was so mean because I was snapping pictures rather than comforting him.

He definitely would have gotten better treatment from Grandmother and Granny Jo!

emily has thighs like that, too. although i keep thinking that they are thinning out; apparently that's just my imagination. guess leo isn't built like george costanza anymore!
