Today Emily had her 4 month well visit. She got more shots, which she was not excited over. However, she did really well with them. She didn’t scream all the way home like last time. Of course, Jon will tell you it was because he was there. Daddy to the rescue. Well, here are her long awaited stats:
weight: 14 lbs 3 oz (75th percentile)
head circumference: 41.5 cm (75th percentile)
length: 25 3/4 inches long (90th percentile)
As you can see, she is quite tall for her age, and her head is huge!!! We all knew Emily would most likely be tall, but this is crazy. She is on the verge of wearing 6-9 month clothes. If you had told me my 4 month old would be at least one size ahead in clothing, I would have said that you were crazy. Oh well, guess she really is going to take after Jon in the height department. At least she still has my nose! But at this rate, she’ll be taller than me before she gets out of grade school!
Well, that’s all for now. She goes back in another 2 months. Who knows how big she will be by then.
Stay tuned for more Emily updates…

I have this feeling that she’ll end up like this girl from my church in Ohio; when I first met her, I figured that she was 5 or 6 [I was 9 and short for my age back then], but it turned out that she was … 3. Flipped me out.
Just for future reference, UAH has a great volleyball team, and I’m sure that I’ll still know someone in Athletics in another 17 years.
My, my, my! What will she do now that she is starting on cereal? At 5 mths. Jon was 27 in. and weighed 16 lbs. 8oz. Glad to know that she behaved for her daddy;-)! Kiss BetsyBoo from her CeCe.
Well, goodness! Jake is only like 30 inches long now, she’s cathcing up fast!
We have some of that with Liza, but not nearly as dramatic. The worst part is when height-wise she should be in larger clothes but then they’re really baggy all over or don’t fit in the limbs.
