@ the 90th Percentile






































Tate went for his four-month checkup this week, and these are the resulting statistics:
17 pounds, 12 ounces
27 inches long
This represents an increase of 5 pounds, 12 ounces, and three inches, since June 21, the date of his two-month checkup. This places Tate in the 90th percentile of infants his age--two months ago he was in the 50th percentile. Yay for la leche!
What else...As I type this, Tate is grabbing on to my wrist, having learned how to reach for things and grasp them with his increasingly strong fingers. He has also learned to roll over onto his stomach from his back. He's not yet mastered rolling back over onto his back, and he gets frustrated with his little arms, but he's getting stronger every day, and it will only be a matter of time before he's rolling all over the living room floor, I'm sure.

This lady surely loves you, Tater, 90th percentile and all. A growing boy! Are you still clamping your gums down on your hands (or someone else's finger)? Love you. G-Ma R.
