I know I said I didn't want to compare.....

Patrick had his 4 month check up earlier this week. He's doing great and growing like there's no tomorrow. So, at 4 months he is 16lbs 14 oz and 27 inches long (yes, that is huge...at least the 90th percentile in both areas). I came home after the appointment and looked up Helen's information. Here's the interesting thing (as in, mouth wide open in shock): at her ONE YEAR appointment Helen was 17lbs 1 oz and 27.5 inches. Yes, Patrick at 4 months is nearly the size Helen was when she was a year old. No wonder I keep expecting him to get up and walk.
