Big head = more brains, right?




On Thursday I took Donovan to the pediatrician for his 9 month check up. At each appointment they measure Donovan's height, weight and head circumference and tell you what percentile they rank in. Here were his status this month.

Weight 20 lbs- 50th percentile
Height 27 inches- 20th percentile
Head Circumference- 18 inches 90th percentile

So that means Donovan's head is bigger that 90% of babies his age! We both had a good laugh about that one. So even though he's short with a gigantic head, we still think he's the best little guy in the world.

(Thanks Amber for the adorable photo!)

I've always been partial to babies with big bald heads...ok he's got hair but you know what I mean.
He's an absolute rockstar, winner of the cutest baby award and given his parents I'm betting he's got quite the brain, consider the big head just a cute side effect.

that is not fair! it ate my comment and didn't post it!
basically the general gist of it was...
I love babies with big bald heads...well he's got hair but you know what i mean.
The boy is an absolute rockstar, winner of cutest baby award and given his set of parents probably an above average brain. Consider the big head a cute side effect of all of the above.
