My Chunky Monkey

Okay, I will admit that he's really not that chunky.  BUT he does have a double chin, and he is pretty solid, and he has monkeys on his outfit.  Besides, it rhymes.
Alex had his two month check-up today, and he's following the same pattern as the other kids so far: he's growing fast.  He was 12 pounds 5 ounces (75th percentile), 23 inches long (50th percentile, but I think it's inaccurate because his knee was bent and his head was turned funny; new nurse!), and 16.5 inches around his head (90th percentile).  I'm curious if this will finally be my child who keeps growing fast enough to stay on the charts, or if he will drop off the bottom by the time he is 18 months old like the others.
