Super Mario, Luigi...Simon?

When we last saw our little guy's statistics at his 2-month checkup, he was in the 3rd percentile for weight, 10th for height, and 15th for head size. Well, Simon has been bumping a lot of "?-cubes" a la Super Mario and finding a lot of growth mushrooms in the last few weeks! We are surprised that his super-sizing has not been accompanied by that digitized sound heard when Mario ate a mushroom and doubled in size.



Check out his vital stats for 4 months:

Height: 25 and 3/4 inches: 75th percentile. Mark this down: HE'S TALL!!!
Weight: 14 lbs, 14 oz: 50th percentile. He is right in the middle compared to kids his age.
Head Size: 17 inches: 75th percentile. With both the Vancehead and Bashamhead working congruently, this is not so surprising. :)

All of Simon's other systems were A-OK. He also got Round Two of shots, but he only cried for a minute.

The doc suggested starting him on rice cereal this week. He will slowly work in a little a day for the next couple of weeks. Then, around 5 months, he will start trying some yellow veggies.

All of us will be in Louisville for the Derby Marathon tomorrow! Dad will be running, mom (and YaYa and PaPa) will be cheering, and Simon will be strolling in the big city. He will also make his first overnight trip to Glasgow on Saturday night. Pics forthcoming.
