A Contest! A Contest!

Next Wednesday, Brian has his six-month-checkup. He will actually be 6.5 months old at that time, and Dan and I are already taking bets about his height and weight. I thought that the rest of you might like to join in the fun, and take a guess too. Feel free to post your guess in the comment section below. I know that some of you have mentioned that the new blogger makes it more difficult to post comments without a g-mail account, but I think you can easily post by using the "anonymous" choice. Just make sure you put your name in with your comment so I give proper credit! If you just can't make the comments work, you can email your guess to me directly.

The winner will receive an autographed, full-color photo of Brian.

A few key points to keep in mind:

1. The average six-month-old baby boy (50th percentile) weighs about 17 pounds, and is about 26 inches long.

2. Brian is definitely not your average baby boy.

3. At 4 months old, Brian weighed 18.5 pounds, and was 26.5 inches long.

4. At almost-three-years-old, Erin weighs somewhere between 27-28 pounds.

5. Lately, I've noticed that Erin feels significantly lighter than her baby brother. I don't think she actually is lighter, but because she's not quite as floppy, she certainly feels lighter. I would imagine that Brian's weight is pretty darn close to Erin's.

Even all of you lurkers are welcome to join in with a guess. I know you're out there because my site-meter shows an awful lot of hits each day...there must be some strangers out there! I've included a photo to help with your guessing. Don't forget to include height and weight! Good luck, and may the best aunt/uncle/grandparent/cousin/friend win!!!
