Kade has never really been a small baby, but keeps growing faster and faster. We keep saying, "surely he will slow down." Apparently not! :)
Sunday at the ER, the doctor walked in and was checking Kade over. He commented on how strong and "healthy" he was. Then he asked us if Kade was starting to walk. I told him, "He's only 4 months old." The doctor gave me a strange look, and then looked to Marc like he couldn't believe Kade was really 4 months old.
Yesterday was Kade's 4 month checkup. He weighed 21lbs 11oz. That is way off the charts. (I think about 19lbs is the 98th percentile.) He was 26.5inches long, which is in the 98th percentile, and his head cirumference was 44.8cm, which is about in the 98th percentile as well. I love that he is thriving and growing.
Karen, my FAVORITE ARNP, thought Kade was very advanced. Of course, I thought that, but it always feels good to hear it from someone else. She said he acted more like a 6 month old....very alert, very social, and incredibly strong. Karen is the sweetest person ever. She always makes you feel like you are her first priority and that she really cares about you and your child.
Oh, and chubby bubby rolled over from back to front. So far only once. I actually think it was purely by accident, but he did it! He was straining to turn to watch Sissy. Well... when you get that much weight behind you and you make a sudden move, you roll over! He had a shocked/scared/intrigued look on his face. I have tried to get him to roll over since then with no luck. I'm not going to rush him, he's already growing up too fast!
