That was Mommy's response today at Jonah's doctor appointment this morning. They weighed Jonah for his two month check-up and he registered in at a whopping 16 pounds! You read that right....16 pounds at two months! In fact, Mommy made them check the caliberation on the scale and then made them do it again! He still registered 16 pounds. Jonah is going to catch up to me very, very quickly. I weigh 22 pounds.
They showed Mommy the dreaded comparison charts for Jonah and it indicated that he is WAY over the "normal" for kids his age in both height and weight. In fact, he was off the charts and would be considered in the 95-100 percentile. Mommy found it ironic when they were showing her this. She has two kids at such different ranges of the "comparison chart" spectrum. There is me...who fails to even make the "norm" at even the lowest of marks. Then there is Jonah, who is above and beyond. So Mommy reaches the same conclusion with Jonah...what is normal anyway? She does know this, Jonah definitely doesn't miss any meals! And she is getting some strong arms carrying the two of us around! Wanna arm wrestle?
I've also decided to nickname Jonah "butterball" although I'm also considering "chunky monkey". After all, I am his big brother (at least for a couple more weeks if he keeps growing at this rate). It's my official duty to come up with some sort of nickname. Perhaps I'll sleep on it. Night, Night.
I love you little (or rather big) brother Jonah.

Oh Dylan,
Jonah will always be your little brother, but come anything happening to you on the playground or anywhere, Jonah will be there and have your back. He will look out for you and be there for you..Just like you to him. That's what family does. Hug your butterball, then hug mommy and daddy and tell them thank you for Jonah. Love to you
