During a visit to Mark's work by a baby that is a month older than Bradley, Mark noticed that this older baby was half Bradley's size. So, we bought a scale today and did some measurements.
At six weeks old, Bradley is 24 inches tall, weighs 14.4 pounds and has a head with a circumference of 16.7 inches. We pulled the charts for where he is supposed to be. He is in the 50th percentile for height and 50th percentile for weight ... pretty average ... if he was four months old! He is off the charts in weight, height and head circumference for his actual age, 6 weeks old. At six weeks old, he is almost as tall as Missy.
His massive size does not appear to be getting him down, as he is beginning to smile more regularly, although not for long stretches of time. The makings of one of his smiles are pictured above.
