I'm Growing!

Isaac had his one month check up today with Dr. Sherwinter.  We love our Pediatrician and the practice.  Ironically, the father of our pediatrician is from the same town in England as Frazer.  Sometimes it truly is a small world!  Anyway, I was very curious to see how much weight our little man had gained since his last checkup.  I knew he had been gaining since my arms having been getting a workout.  Even though Isaac was 9 lbs when he was born he dropped to 8 lb 8 oz in the hospital and went back up to around 8 lb 13 oz after we brought him home.  So in one month Issac is up to 10 lb 2 oz which is the 60th percentile.  He's definitely starting to fill out.  He's in the 75 percentile for his head size which measured to 15 1/2 inches.  What is even more interesting is his height.  He's grown 4 inches since he was born.  He's now 24 inches long and in the 97th percentile!  The doctor commented that Isaac might grow up to be a professional basketball player.  Frazer and I chuckled on that one considering neither one of us is exactly tall.  We could be wrong, maybe there are some tall recessive genes somewhere....  We'll have to wait and see.
