Luca's 4 month appointment today:
17 pounds 6 ounces - 90-95th percentile
26 3/4 inches - 95th percentile
Not sure if I mentioned it on
here or not, but the blog was updated a couple weeks ago about the kids' celiac
testing.
Perry & Ella are both negative (yay!) and Luca will be tested at 1 year.

Remember P&E's feet just dangling in here? Well, Luca can already touch the ground! He's a tall boy!
