Side By Side

I have finally made a few collages of our little man side by side, showing his growth month by month! I guess I use the term "little" loosely. He's little compared to most people. He's big compared to most people his age. He turned 6 months old on Saturday and this morning he weighed 22 pounds 5 ounces. He is 27 inches long or tall, however you'd like to put it. His head circumference is 19 inches. The doctor was concerned with the head circumference and collaborated with the head doctor, but that doctor said that although the circumference is big, the whole child is big, so there's no concern. He got four needles and one oral today, including his flu vaccination. So, he's up to date on everything and he passed his developmental test, which is a good thing considering Mommy's first degree is in Early Childhood Development.
