16 Weeks!

Today, our little boy underwent his 16-week check-up. Much to our delight, good ol' Dr. Metzl declared him a "healthy baby." Everett also received the green light to immediately begin eating rice cereal with other "real" food to soon follow. Our little ball-of-fire continues to grow on a blistering pace. Here are his latest dimensions including their respective rank when compared to his peers:

Length: 26 5/8 inches - 97%
Weight: 17 lbs 12 ounces - 95%

Simply put, he's a big guy with a big appetite; he recently began eating 7-8 ounces of milk per setting! Mommy and I both are happy to begin feeding him real foods in the hopes that he may begin sleeping longer/better, which means we sleep longer/better...

Cheers!

What a big handsome boy you have! Good luck on the solids - today it's rice cereal, tomorrow it's chocolate chip cookies!
