Billy is HUGE!

Today Billy had his 2 month old checkup.  I have figured for awhile that he is a pretty big baby.  But didn't know just how big until today.  The outfit he is wearing in this picture is a 3-6 month old outfit and most of his 0-3 month clothes do not fit anymore, but I haven't gotten out the 3-6 month size because we are moving.  So today we found out how much he weighs.  Here are his stats:
Height
24 inches 90th percentile
Weight 
12 lbs 10 oz 75th percentile 
Can I just say, this kid is HUGE!  He must get the height from his dad because he certainly didn't get it from me!  It is kind of different having a kid on the other side average.  Mikey was always in the 4th percentile for his weight (and still is only in the 7th).  James was a little bigger but still only in the 25th.  
Here are some things about Billy at 2 months:
  • We have started calling him Billy, it won out over Willy, William and even Billiam.  James declared one day that he likes Billy.  Mikey still calls him William, but he also calls himself Michael so it would seem that he just likes the full proper names.  
  • He smiles all the time and this morning I heard him starting to laugh.
  • He sleeps like a pro.  Usually he sleeps from 10-4 or 5 at night then eats and goes back to sleep until 8 or 9.  So nice to not feel like a zombie anymore.
  • His brother LOVE him.  Especially James who I have found laying next to him on the bed just playing with his hands.  And Mikey hates when he is crying and always wants me to go get him when he is.
  • He can hold his head up by himself and is pretty steady for quite awhile.  
  • He is by far my easiest baby and loves to interact with anyone who will give him attention. 
  • He loves bath time.
