4 Month Well Baby

We had Grant's 4 month well baby check a little late on August 11th (our pediatrician is very popular!). Grant is very healthy, and he did great with his 2nd round of vaccines.

At his appointment, Grant weighed 19 pounds & 4 ounces which was the 95%tile for his age. He was 27 inches long, so his height was in the 90%tile. His head circumference was 18 inches. It was off the growth chart which means it was ABOVE the 97%tile!! I have an app on my phone that also gives percentiles and it said, according to the World Health Organization, that an 18 inch head at almost 5 months is ABOVE the 99%tile! We knew he had a big head, but I think those numbers even surprised us a bit! The pediatrician just kept saying what a big boy he was! You can check out the percentile chart for head circumference below! :)
