I’m 4 months old! Wow! That was fast! I’m already 1/3 of a year old. It feels like I’m speeding toward that 1 year mark very quickly.
I had my 4-month check up and I am a healthy baby, albeit a very large baby. The nurse had to take a couple measurements again just to be sure. She measured my abdomen and then looked at the number with a tilted head an unsure face. She took my measurement again, this time with me sitting up. Same result: BIG BABY! It is even noted in my records that I am 大柄 “oogara” which means “large build”. Which is a polite way of saying HUGE BABY!
I’m now literally off the charts in weight. I was barely within the norms of the charts before, but now I broke through and I am cruising way above the 98 percentile line.

Well, as long as I’m healthy. You can check and compare my growth below
