Orin's 4 Month Measures

My handsome little man is 4 months old today - at 6.30 pm he wishes you all to know! Haha
He weighs 19.2 Kg and is 51cms at the wither. It's nice to have records and compare with the other boys, it makes me feel better knowing he is there or there about.
At 4 months Ross weighed 19.4 kg and was 51cm at the wither. Loki was the heaviest at 21.10kg and was just over 51cms, whilst Mikey was 19.55kg and slightly taller at 52cms. Strangely Mikey was not as tall as Ross and Loki as an adult, to be fair he was the more the correct size of the three. Ross is deceivingly taller at the wither than Loki, but Loki has more reach of neck and he uses it to give an impression of greater size!
Where will Orin end up size wise? Well we'll just have to wait and see. His dad is a correct size male, his mum a little tall! (And of course Nico, Sammi's dad seems to produce greater size than himself) We may have more of an idea at 6 months. There is a theory that they only grow about 5cms after 6 months and that bone growth ends at 11 months. They say any appearance of growth after 11 months is muscle and maturity and not skeletal .. though of course the growth plates may not be completely fused until they are 18 Months +
So now we'll wait another month for weights and measure. By 5 months he should be roughly 5kg heavier and 5 cms taller .... and there is no bloody way I'll be able to lift him onto the bathroom scales then!
