15 what?

Update from doctors:

Weight: 15 lbs, 4oz
Height: 25.75 inches
Head Circumference: 16.5 inches

He's in the 50th percentile for the weight and the 55% percentile for height and I don't know about the head circumference.

He got his shots, screamed bloody murder and just wanted his mommy and daddy. Immediately fell asleep in his car seat and is now happily playing with toys while sitting in his exercauser.

(As a side note, if he's in the 50th percentile (which translates to the average) then why is he in 6-12 month clothing? Actually, I suppose he wears some 3-6 month clothes and the 6-12 is a bit too big, but he's growing out of some of his 6 month sleepers. I guess each make/brand sizes differently, even the weights don't correspond).

I'm glad it's over, he's happy and everything is perfect according to the doctor

I've even found different sizing for different clothes of the SAME brand.... now how weird is that? Kailey is mostly in the 0-3 month clothing, but most of the Snugabyes she's in (Walmart brand) all say "up to 20 lbs". LOL... ya, she's definitly not THAT big. 8)

Yeah I have a few sleepers that say 6 months - 14 lbs! Carson was 14 lbs at 3 months..... strange and yet very annoying.

Yay - I'm glad Carson has recovered from his needle (sweet picture of him in your bed!). I've just got Raiya down for a nap now (after her's) - I hope she sleeps for awhile. Poor thing - I hate those needles.

The size thing is SO confusing. Raiya weighed in at 14 and 4 today (and she's not even at 4 months yet) - and she's wearing 16lb sleepers (which clearly say "6 months") and they practically fit her.

Yet, she's still fitting into some of her 0-3 onesies.

Lord knows how all of this works! I'm glad that we're heading into "6-12" territory soon - at least there's a 6-month leeway there.:-)
