NBA here we come!

Tad had his 4 month check up and the Doctor said he wouldn't be surprised if Tad was at least 6'4". He's already 27" long which puts him in the 99th percentile.
He's also a tubby 17.6 lbs. (We were guessing closer to 20.)
He's going to need to start walking soon because it's a workout to carry him in his carseat into the store then lift it up into the cart. :}





Here are his 4 month pictures - he kept pulling the santa hat over his eyes then freaking out, so I gave up and let him chew on it.
We thought we'd be able to start him on rice cereal, but the dr says that about a year ago they found that if you start a baby on foods before 6 mos. it could lead to Type I diabetes. I tried to convince him that Tad can eat 13 oz at one sitting and that I thought he needed cereal, but the dr wouldn't budge and say ok. So, I guess we'll wait another 2 months before we begin the food adventures!

Cute chubby kid. Chubby kids are the greatest. He's as big as our 16 month old.
