Beefcake update

Yesterday was Christopher's 4 month well child appointment. The last time we visited the doctor was on Halloween because we thought our boy had a little bit of a cold. When they weighed him then, he was 15 pounds, 2 ounces. So in a month he had only put on about a pound. We figured he is finally starting to level off a bit in the weight department. Needless to say, I wasn't expecting much more weight gain at this appointment... Well, our little beefcake proved me wrong again. Drum roll please... Christopher weighs 17 pounds! He has nearly doubled his birth weight at 4 months. He is also 26 inches long and his head is 16 3/4 inches around. (That must be due to his manly size brain!) The doctor also said Christopher seems to have strong abs (at least one of us does) so he wouldn't be surprised if little man sits up relatively early. Ah wouldn't that be nice! Christopher looks healthy and happy and the doctor remarked about how cute he is getting. It was a great visit!
