OK, so it’s official. You’re really small.
How small? Well, if this is a chart showing the range of height and weight for four-month old babies...

you...

... show up on the chart right down here.
This, of course, wasn't unexpected. The first time we took you to get weighed at the doctor's office, you weighed less than four and a half pounds.
Two months later, you were up to eight and a quarter — big to us, but small overall.
Now, at 10 pounds and five ounces, you’re still smaller than some newborns. But when we visited Dr. Schriewer on Friday, she seemed content that you’re developing in all the most important ways. And that, of course, is what matters to us.
Chances are that you’ll catch up, size wise, in due time — though it’s unlikely you’ll ever be the biggest kid in your class.
But that’s fine by me. Because it doesn’t matter how tall you stand, or how much you weigh.
Because you’re absolutely, positively the biggest thing in my world.
Love,
dad
