The nurse said to Timmy, "let's see how tall you are" and put him next to the measuring tape. "oh, you are tall! 23 inches." (50th percentile)
Then she said "let's see how smart you are" and measured his head. "Oh, you are very smart! 16 and 3/4 in." (95th perctentile)
Finally, she said "You're huge, let's see how much you weigh" and put him on the scale. "oh, wow...hmm ... eh ... (adjusting the weight) ... yep! 15 lbs!" (oh geez, that's how much someone twice your age weighs!)
Timmy let out a big sigh of relief ... made it!
oh, what's that you say?
SHOTS?!!
Luckily, he pulled through like a champ ... with a little help from a pacifier and super cool band-aids

congrats on nurishing such a healthy boy! I can't get over how big he is! but definately a cutie!
First off: He is super cute, and I LOVE the shot of him recovering from shots.
Second: Poor little guy! The shots are no fun at all. :(
Third: I had to laugh at what you wrote about the head measurement - my kid has a ginormous head and everyone makes the smart comment. No. Parenting gods forgive me, but it's just skull. It's ALL skull. That kid can whack her noggin into a table and not even notice. Cracks me up, although I try not to let her see it.
It also makes me grateful that I was induced when she was less than five pounds, with a tangerine sized head. Whew. That could have been ugly.
