Five Boys Happy Home

It's not red eye, it's LASER eyes. Well, on Friday Jack had his four month checkup. And everything is OK. Jack weighed 12 lb 1/4 oz (10th percentile) and was 24 1/2 inches tall (45th percentile), all good news! The Doctor says Jack is right where he should be as far as growth and development.
