Off-the-Charts, Literally

If you were wondering what Off-the-Charts looks like, please refer to Exhibit A.  As is evident below, Liam has never struggled in the growth categories.  Since birth, he has settled comfortably in the Charging Rhino Baby (CRB) status of infancy and has exceeded his peers in the following categories:  thunderous marshmallow thighs, cankles, dimpled forearm syndrome, gargantuan cranium and benign elephantitis of the cheeks.   While Liam has taken a slight dip in height and weight percentiles in the past three months, he has now exceeded 95% of his peers in head circumference, setting yet another Off-the-Charts record making both Charles' and Rawsons proud.  (Note: Liam fits best in hats designed for five year olds.)  


One thing is clear.  The boy likes to eat, and he LOVES milk (aka Liquid Gold.) We are treasuring every moment of chubbiness, as it is sure to melt away as he becomes more and more mobile.  For now, he is content to sniper-crawl his way around the world...

What a blog message Rachael...everything said so very well and right on target! Depending on what age you show him his baby pics, he will hit both the ends of the continuim, ie; profound embarrassment to having a great laugh at himself!
