Check Up

On Tuesday Marc and James had their four month check up even though they are almost 5 months now. Here are their stats:

Marc:

Weight - 14 lbs 3 oz 50%
Length - 26 inches 70%-90%
Head Circumference - 16 1/4 inches 25%

James:

Weight - 13 lbs 4.5 oz 25%
Length - 25 3/4 inches 75%
Head Circumference - 15 3/4 inches 5%-10%

Their check up went well. As you can see from their statistics, they aren't huge boys, but these numbers don't take into account that they were born 6 1/2 weeks early. The doctor is very pleased with their progress and they don't seem to be behind at this point and she is so impressed with how they are growing and eating. On a side note, James head is a little smaller compared to the rest of his body. The doctor was concerned that his growth plates were already closing so she ordered a X-ray. We got it done on Tuesday and the results came back fine. However, the doctor would like to get a second opinion from a specialist just to be sure. We have an appointment at the end of the month with the specialist and hopefully everything will be fine. Despite this, Billy and I feel very lucky to have healthy boys that are growing up way too quickly. We love them!

Great stats. It looks like those boys are growing perfectly. My girls were only around 11-12 pounds at 4 months old. LOL I hope all turns out okay with James's head plates.
