17 pounds 3 ounces

Oliver was weighed today by the nurse. At 17 pounds and 3 ounces he is just under the 75th percentile for his age.

We haven't got official measurements for his head size or height this time. It would be interesting to know as I suspect he still has a large head (previously measured as above 91st percentile) and I have previously measured him as being in the 98th percentile for his height.

Having said that, a friend at work became a father for the second time about 6 weeks after Oliver was born. His son has now overtaken Oliver in terms of weight and is off the scale of the charts used to say what percentile your child is in. Maybe they need updating for our fast-evolving offsrping.
