Today was Bella's 4 month check up! I do not wonder now why she is out growing Kaley's baby clothes at such a high rate! Bella is 26 1/2 inches tall - 97-100th percentile, 16.6 lbs - 97-100th percentile, and has a noggin' size of 42 cm - 75th percentile! She is taller than Thomas was at this age, and is weighs just barely less (.6 lbs)! It makes me wonder if I have a little Tankerina on my hands! To put Bella's size in perspective for me, Dr. Berry said, Bella is the size of an average 7 month old! Also, she could stay this size until she was 11 months, and still be in the 10th or 20th percentile for that age! Geeze! Dr. Berry says that I should sell my milk to the Ethiopians to fatten them up! He is always making comments about my milk supply! With Kaley and Thomas he affectionately named me the "Dairy Queen." I don't know if I quite like it, but I guess that means healthy, chubby babies!

Holy cow! How can she feel so much lighter than Dallin? Dallin was 26" exactly and 16.2 lbs. How can this be? Kinda freaky that they are both hunka munkas!:) At least they can be little sausages together. Poor Makenzie- she'll always seem like such a runt in comparison!:)
Hey Crystal! I found your blog through Alanna's. I had to laugh at your comments about Bella because I've got a BIG boy on my hands. He's almost 5 months old and when we went for his 4 month check he was 16 lbs. 13 oz., 25 3/4 inches, and 44 cm for his head circumference. I figure I'm building good bicep muscles as I pack around my healthy kid!

She is quite the cute little chunk! Hayden was the same way until he hit 6 months. Then he kept on getting taller, but not gaining any weight. He hit 20 pounds at 6 months and is now only 25.5 pounds (he turns 2 in July). Crazy skinny kid!
That's funny your doctor comments on you milk supply! Kind of akward but funny.
Dairy Queen...haha! I love it :)
wow. seriously impressive. sienna is 50th for height and weight. not bad since she wasn't even on the charts when she was born at just 4lbs 15onces!
