Today we went to McCoy's six month check-up and we learned that he is a BIG boy! We already knew he was fairly big for his age, but now we are sure that he is REALLY big for his age!
He weighs 18 lbs 14 oz which is in the 80th percentile for boys his age. At his last appt he was in the 75th. I can't remember the exact measurements of his head but it was also in the 80th percentile!! As for length, he was 28 1/2 inches which is OVER the 97th percentile! Dr. Ball told us that he is the height of the average 11 month old! Kirk and I are in complete shock that we have such a BIG child!
After hearing his shocking measurements, the rest of the appt went great. He laughed when I laid him down on the scale. I guess he might have been looking at the shock on my face! I guess we'll wait for his 9 month appt to see if he keeps up this crazy growth! In the meantime, Kirk and I will be wondering where he gets it from!

Happy Birthday Big Boy! You sure are a cutie!
My kids were always in the top percentile for height and weight. When Emma Kate was little the doctor predicted her height by using that scale and said she could be 6 feet!!! That's crazy considering how short I am and my husband is about average.
Happy Half-Birthday Mccoy! I am so glad to hear that you have such a big and healthy boy! (and what a cutie pie)Time flies. Just think, in a few short months you will be planning the BIG 1 year party!
Wow! He is huge! I can't beleive it! He is going to be such a big boy!
Hey, bud-bud!
This just means that there's more of you to love and we all do!

McCoy is almost the exact same size as Tayson was at 6 months. Tayson has always been in the 95-100th percentile for height and anywhere from 80-90th for weight.
A healthy baby is a happy baby!!
Way to go McCoy!!!
I think McCoy looks perfect - big or whatever you want to call it! He is precious!
Could be he gets it from his Great Uncle Morgan- deceased. He was always big and tall. Weighed in at
1o lbs 9 oz when he was born. Was 6' 4" tall. Good looking too!
McCoy do worse!
