Update on Rhylan

Rhylan had his 4 month well baby check up yesterday. All is well with the little man, and here are the stats:

12 lbs, 1 oz. That is up a full pound since October 3rd!! However, he is still a little runt- in the 6th percentile on weight. He is 25 inches long (although I don't know that the measurement was all that accurate- that seems really long!), and in the 53rd percentile for height. But, that is on the 4 month old growth chart, not adjusted age. Typically if a baby is 3 or more weeks early they are charted by due date for growth and milestones. Even though he was 5 weeks early, his doctor has kept him on the regular chart because he has been doing so well. He is at the low end, but is consistantly growing, which is what she is watching for. As far as developmental milestones, she was more than happy with how is is doing, and said that he is right on track for a "regular" four month old!!
