I can't believe that our beautiful baby boy has been here for 4 months already! Granted, 26 of those days were spent in the NICU, but it still has flown by!! We had a feeling that Luke was going to have a nice weigh in for his 4 month check-up today. Matt swore he was over 11 pounds and I thought it was going to be more like 9 or 10. Well, Daddy got it right! Luke weighs in at 11 pounds 5 ounces. Holy cow!!  A crazy thing I discovered when I got home and checked out Emma's baby book was that Emma was only 11 pounds 4 ounces at 4 months! And she started out 3 pounds heavier at birth. Another crazy thing is that Emma only weighs eleven pounds more than he does right now-that's right, two of Luke and you get one little Emma.  Luke's progress is so good, that if he was only 4 ounces heavier, he would be on the chart for a full term 4 month old. He's also 23.5 inches long and his head is 16 inches. It is hard to believe that our tiny baby is growing so fast. Now when people ask how old he is, they will no longer immediately say "Oh my gosh, he's so tiny!!" At this rate, Emma isn't going to be the "big" sister for very long!
