The Big O

Dear Oliver,

Yesterday I took you to the pediatrician's office for your four-month check up. You weighed 18 pounds and 9 ounces. That means you are in the 97th percentile for your weight. You weigh 2 ounces more than Lillie weighed when she was a year old. But as your dad pointed out, "That just means there's more of you to love."

You also had to get your DTaP shot, and when the nurse poked the needle into your leg you didn't even flinch. The nurse said that was one of the advantages of having such chunky thighs.

Today we leave to go see grandparents for your first Thanksgiving. Everyone is going to want to gobble you up!
