I Love Chubby Babies!

Well, we've been to the doctor for Lucy's 4 month checkup (a little late) and the stats are in: she weighs 15.5 lbs and is 24.5 inches long. These are both right on track in the 75th and 50th percentiles respectively. I don't remember the numbers on her head circumference but it was 90th percentile. In developmental news, she has learned to sit up on her own! That is about a month and a half faster than her big brother. Of course, she has somebody to try to keep up with. Her comment? "Mama, sitting up is SO last week! I want to stand!" Once she is standing the incredible fat rolls come into focus. She actually has a dimple on her thigh!

For those of you who don't enjoy pictures of fat babies, skip to the end of the post to catch up with Benjamin. Otherwise, feast your eyes!

While Mama was busy taking pictures of baby fat, Benjamin and Daddy were enjoying watching Sesame Street; if you look closely, you will see the letter "A."

Benjamin can sing the whole alphabet song, count to 5, and is rapidly expanding his song vocabulary. The other day he was singing "Mary, Mary..." We were quite confused, then realized it was part of his rendition of "Row, Row your Boat." It's really "Merrily, merrily!" We're not quite sure where he learned it as neither of us has taught it to him!
