Birth weight 7lb ~6oz. Weight at 4 mos: 14lb 13oz. Weight at 6 mos: same.
Baby did grow 1/2" since 4 mo checkup. Docs not happy with the growth either. Mom
said head circumference is increasing. Skin color good / pink. Eyes big &
bright. Sociable. Responsive. Smiling. Meeting other developmental milestones.
Fat padded marshmallow (texture, not color) skin all over. No bones visible at
joints. He is into pitstop nursings. He has 6 teeth & I believe he is working
on the next pair. He can hold himself
upright on his feet while holding onto mom's fingers with very little hip
wobble.
Dear Friends:
    There is nothing wrong with this baby. His brain is growing, he is
developmentally on target.
    What is there to fuss about? Because some number makes somebody unhappy?
    warmly,
