6 Month Stats

Before going to Nate’s 6 month doctor’s appointment, I made a bet. I bet that only ten pounds separated Nate from his older brother. I guessed he would be twenty pounds and that Jake was about thirty.

I was half right… Nate was 20.03 pounds and according to our bathroom scale, Jakey was 32 pounds. Is it possible that Natesy will only gain another ten or so pounds in the next two years?

Weight: 20 lbs .03 oz: 85.65% (down from 87.41%)
Height: 2′ 4″: 90.85% (up from 91.21%)
Head Circumference: 44.2cm: ~53%? (Dr. Nancy was on an envious Mediterranean vacation and therefore we saw another doctor whose printouts are different.  The areas for improvement and efficiencies in medical paperwork never cease to amaze me…)

So the gist of this blog post is that Nathaniel is still our little linebacker.  I find myself stalking the closest parking spots at his school in order to hoist his heft as few feet as possible.  When I pick-up watermelons, they feel light.  I have bruises on my forearms from carrying his car seat.  It’s more like an Easter egg basket with a medicine ball.

People at work lament about going to the gym.  I don’t feel guilty about not going to the gym at all… I’m all about Body By Nate.
