We had HBombs 9month appointment yesterday and it confirmed one thing we all knew and disproved a few things I thought I knew.
1. I’ve been saying Hayes is 25-26 pounds if anyone asks. Apparently I’m an idiot. He’s actually a shade under 23. This puts him in the 75th percentile
2. Hayes is 29.5 inches tall. Puts him at 75th percentile.
3. Statisticians be damned, you can actually be above the 100th percentile. Hayes is.

We found this out when they measured Hayes’ head. We knew it was big… but not over 100th percentile big. It’s HUGE. He’s head heavy. Man, it’s funny. Fortunately we think that makes him cute. Unfortunately, it makes other people (still) think he looks like the flippin Quizno’s baby.

I don’t really think Judit, our pediatrician, wanted to tell us how big his head actually was. She went throught the little graphs, one at a time, telling us the percentiles until she got to the head one. Instead she just said “Holy F’n shit, he’s got a huge head.” Minus the swearing and well… she actually said something more along the line of, “Yes, he’s got a large head.”

I asked, “Around 100th percentile?”

She shyly looked at the ground, obscured her mouth and replied in almost a whisper, ” Over 100th percentile.”

Like I said, didn’t know you could be over. Yup, HBomb continues to amaze us. He’s already breaking the rules, and he doesn’t even know there are any. To top it off, he’s teaching us stuff. Who knew having kids could be so educational!
