How big is big?

Peter now weighs 17lbs. 12 oz. That puts him in the 90-95th percentile, which is roughly the same as a month ago.

Peter is now 27 inches long/tall. That puts him in the 95th percentile, up from the 75th percentile month ago. This is not really a surprise since we had to adjust his bouncy seat twice in the past month due to his ever-lengthening legs.

His head measurement is in the 50th percentile, as it has been since he was born. Nice and steady, Pete.

He also was given a clean bill of health by his pediatrician.

Another new development is that the two front teeth of his lower jaw have finally broken through the surface of his gums. They’re jagged little things. Now he’ll no longer gum us, but it will be a proper bite. Now he’ll just have to learn that those things don’t feel good on us (and by us I mean his mom, for the most part) when he clamps down.
