Big little brother

Will's been tugging at his ear for a few days so I took him to the doctor yesterday just to make sure it wasn't a dreaded ear infection. It wasn't (more likely teething or just the new discovery of a cool new place to stick stuff), but he did get weighed and measured while we were there. He was just over 20 pounds and 28 inches. By comparison, Kate was 21.1 pounds and 28.75 inches at 12 months. She was about average as percantiles go. So, at almost 7.5 months, Will is approximately the size of an average one-year-old. This explains why he's fully in 12-month clothes and also why my left bicep is cresting bodybuilder status (just kidding!!) He's also pushing size 4 for shoes (not that he has any need to wear them). Kate is currently a size 7. I'm sure he'll slow down at some point, unless he inherited the random Uncle Jay or Uncle Blake tall-gene but, for now, this little brother is not so little at all!
