Mila is 25 inches (68th percentile) and 12 lb, 6 oz (23rd percentile). Long and lean!
It's funny how different doctors have different percentile charts. Shelby is 12 lb 13 oz and I was told she is in the 12 th percentile.

Does your doc use separate charts for boys and girls? Interesting.

I think the percentiles are based on age. Did your twins come early? If so, that may be why.

DS had his appointment yesterday, at 4 months exactly.
Weight: 15 lbs, 2 oz....50th percentile
Length: 66.5 cm...90th percentile
It's funny, because I keep thinking he's such a big boy, but he's so much smaller than his sisters were at this age. (They were both in the 90-95 percentile range for height and weight. He's tiny by comparison, lol)
He practically guzzled the oral vaccine, and barely flinched for the first shot. He cried so hard for the second his face was all red, but settled down really quickly afterwards. All in all, he handled them like a champ!

Zelda925 · August 2013

Stats: 25.59 inches (89%) 15.65 lbs (85%). She's actually 5 months now because she was 3 weeks early. I can't believe it. Almost time to start solids, eekkk.

CanukMam · August 2013

Just did he 4 month checkup/shots. Little guy is not so little weighing in at over 17lbs. He has doubled his birth weight. Measuring 85th percentile for weight and length

leasaj · August 2013

13 lbs even & 24.25 inches.

Lhyacinth888 · August 2013

My DD had her appt today. She's 25 inches long (75%) and 12lbs 13.5oz (25%). Her head is 40th percentile.

TexasAggie06 · August 2013

Greyson's appointment was back on the 6th - but my internet has been on the fritz so I've been MIA on here!

He was 16 lb 4 oz (60th percent) and 25" long.

Our doctor said to keep breastfeeding and not to do any solids yet. She said if I feel like he just can't get enough that I could start giving him rice cereal... but I'm thinking of skipping grains all together.

Gracious1014 · August 2013

Emma was 4 months on 4/9, but had her appt on Wednesday. Weighed in at 16 lbs, 1 oz and 26.25". Two month shots were a breeze. Four month shots were a nightmare. Poor girl!

karenthecroccy · August 2013

Tommy was 4 mo on the 11th and had his appt the following day. He weighed 17lb 15 oz, is 26.5" long with a 17" head circumference. 95th percentile for weight and 93rd for height. Well over double his birth weight of 7lb 9oz. Started on oatmeal cereal and we are introducing purées.

chellebell82 · August 2013

Elisha went this morning for his 4 month appointment but won't be 4 months tell the 25.

Weight: 13lbs 4,5oz

Height: 24.25"

24ladybug · August 2013

We had our appt yesterday and 4 months was on the 17 th.
25.5 inches and 15 pounds 4 ounces
They are all growing so fast!

danuli8 · August 2013

We went yesterday and he turned 4 months on the 16th. He weighed 16 pounds even and is 25 inches tall. My office doesn't do percentiles until 6 months.

jdematteis · August 2013

Xander was 28" and 16 lbs 5 oz. 100% for height and 65% for weight. We are just now transitioning to 6mo clothes just because they are so short we love summer and shorts. Winter with pants is going to be tricky!

NicoleSB80 · August 2013

Weighed in at 14.8 lbs today (18wks). Everything checked out perfectly. I forgot the percentiles. :-/. Shots left her extra fussy/needy all afternoon but hoping it also equals a full nights sleep.

Ped did say to stop feeding every 2hrs at night. She said LO should be able to go at least 4hrs, but more likely 6 so we need to try and soothe other ways before nursing so often in the MOTN.

She also gave us the go ahead to start avacado or oatmeal if we really wanted but said she personally would wait another 4 weeks.

Jillibean68 · August 2013

Little man was 4 months on the 19th but we just had his appt today. He weighed in at 15 1/2 lbs and 25 inches.

jmj4409 · August 2013

DD turned 4 months on the 16th but had her appointment today. 15# 15oz (90%) 24inches (50%) our pedi told us to start solids once a day now so that's what we are doing tonight. He wants us to do away with one bottle. She normally eats 28-34 oz a day
I thought that was normal but I guess well try veggies.

MrsP7309 · August 2013

DD is 24 inches and 14 lbs even!

ClandestineX · August 2013

Just had his shots today...

17lbs 15oz, 85%

27in - 95%

17 3/4 inch head - Off the chart lol.

He has jumped all his curves by a lot.

asc34 · August 2013

Reading all these posts makes me realize how much of a peanut I have! I was really small though and her baby BMI is holding steady. The pediatrician is not concerned at all.

11 pounds 15.5 ounces (7%), 24 inches (forgot to ask the percentile).

Peony230 · August 2013

Gavin turned 4 months on the 12th but our appointment was today, he's 14 lbs 8 oz and 27 in long!

lyankowi · August 2013

I can't finally post here (if anyone is still reading this) 15.8lbs 90% 26in 97% head is only 40cm with is 25%. I have a beast with a tiny little peanut head! She is perfect. Did really well with the shots too, hated the drink as usual. Cried but stopped as soon as she was picked up.

Mandmeesh · August 2013

@nicolesb80 did the pedi give a reason to stop nursing so often overnight? Is your LO overweight? (It doesn't seem so by your siggy pic and her weight at her visit). Just wondering bc some nights M's up and fully nursing every two hours overnight...and if my pedi told me to stop, I wouldn't. Lol

Meggs2559 · August 2013

Little man is 15 pounds and 25 1/4 in long (70% for both). Took his shots like a champ!! Much better than 2 months. Let's hope tonight goes well!! We got the ok to start cereal but we may wait a little. He grabs at all of our food and pulls his bottle into his mouth.

melissad23 · August 2013

We still havent gonw - don't have our 4 mo check-in until next Tuesday! Dd is one of our board's youngest...born 4/30

KrisM86 · August 2013

Way late here, but DD just had his 4 month check up on Tuesday. He weighs 12 lbs 13 oz which is around the 10th percentile. He is 25 inches long which is around the 70th percentile....he's our little bean pole!

In the last 2 weeks or so, he's started rolling like crazy and is really trying to sit on his own.

hatroopes · August 2013

DD's appointment was on the 8th and she will be 5 months on Sunday, but she was 14lbs 2.5oz and 25in long - 50th percentile for both.

Mandmeesh · August 2013

M just had his yesterday! 24.4" long (21st percentile) and 13lbs 10z (16th percentile). He's a petite little baby!

Was also happy that the cnp said solids weren't recommended at all until 6 months, so didn't have to roll my eyes at that one, lol.

she did recommend moving M "soon" to his crib because habits are starting to form around this time. Hmmm...we'll see

melissad23 · September 2013

DD finally had her 4 month appt yesterday. ( she was 4 months on the 30th, last Friday)

13lb 6oz - 29th percentile
26.25 inches - 97th percentile

teddib20 · September 2013

I forgot to post Emma's stats for her 4 mo appt...

Weight is 16lbs 7oz (95th percentile)

Height is 25 3/4" (95th percentile)

She did ok that day from the shots, but the next day spiked a fever that lasted almost 2 days... it was also associated with teething and she got a cold 3 days later...

Kate_C · September 2013

Finally joining too! 4 month appointment was today. Bday is 4-26. She is 13 lbs 3 oz and 25.25 inches long. Tall and skinny like her brother! We got referred to a pedi ortho to check an issue with one of her hips. Kind of nervous about that, but pedi said it is mostly just to be safe. Here's to hoping!

Mandmeesh · September 2013

@kate_c...I hope all is okay with LO's hips! What was noticed that the pedi wants checked?

He did the normal rotating the hip tests and noticed a clicking in one hip. That can be a sign of hip dysplasia so he referred her to get checked by a specialist. I don't have any of the normal factors that would increase her risk (breech baby, family history, first kid, low AFI), so hopefully this is just a random finding that isn't indicative of a problem.

evertz · September 2013

Finally had our 4 month (and 2 week?) appointment on Monday. Here's Clark's stats:

Weight - 17lbs 13oz

Length - Ok, is it bad I don't remember this already? I think it was 25 3/4"

He's 92nd percentile for weight and length and 80-something for his head.

We talked to the pedi about his head-tilting issue (you can see it in my siggy pic). She referred us to a physical therapist and we have an evaluation appointment next week. He also has a flat spot but she thinks it's not bad enough to get a helmet. She's ordered LOTS and LOTS of tummy time. She says every time we put him down he should be on his tummy.

zipscheer07 · September 2013

We finally had our appointment yesterday as well. She will be 5 months a week from today.

Weight: 13 lbs 11 oz (25th percentile)

Height: 25 inches long (50th percentile)

Head: 16 cm (75th percentile... thanks to her dad)

She is doing great. Acted like her shots didn't exist! Doctor said to only make real food a snack and not let it over take her bottles since she went down in percentile. At her last appointment, she was in the 65th percentile. Other than that, shes finally rolling and trying her hardest to scoot

fireflyz56 · September 2013

Finally I can add our update!

I swear we are the last ones to have our 4 month (or almost 5 now) appointment since our doctor was on vacation.

DD is 26 inches long and 13.6 lbs. Doctor says she is on the light side now for weight but it is probably due to her length and her activity level (I swear she was trying to show off all her new tricks to the doctor this morning - squirming, kicking, rolling, grabbing her feet... lol), and that I can consider starting her on a little rice cereal to "beef her up a bit". Other than that, she said everything is perfect and that she is very strong.

She was definitely not a happy girl after her shots, but I'm glad it's over and that I was also able to hold it together this time.
