He ain't heavy




Andrew is a big baby. Period. Gene, Austin, and I wanted to know how big, so we performed our own measurements at home. As Andrew laid on the floor playing, we used a variety of implements to measure him including a metal tape measure and toy musical inch worm. Our conclusion: Andrew is 24 inches long, almost 3 inches longer than when he was born. Now, that's big. Our measuring was confirmed at Andrew's 2 month checkup. In fact, we were off by almost 2 inches! Andrew is 25 1/2 inches long and 14 1/2 pounds. The doctor showed us his growth chart and, as suspected, he's heavier and longer than over 95% of kids his age. No wonder my back hurts these days.
