Gav's 8 mo. check up

Last week I took Gavin in for his eight month check up and I learned a few new description that I didn't know existed until now.
First let me give you an idea of how well my sweet boy is doing.
Gavin now weighs 21 lbs. and is in the 77%
He is 28 inches long 61%
and here is the kicker...
His head circumference is... 47.7cm. and the percentile they gave to go along with that is >97%
I didn't know that (>) actually existed when measuring your child's progress. I feel like the doctor measured his head and because it is pretty large, as in "off the charts" LARGE he decided to randomly pick a large number and then add a greater that sign in front of it( I know that is not actually what he did, but I sometimes wonder .
When Dr. Pete went over Gavin's progress he simply glided over the head issue by saying "his body has now caught up to his head". I didn't think much of it at the time because I have never though Gavin had a big head. He has always look proportional to his body. I guess I was disillusioned a little bit.
I laughed hysterically all the way home when I looked over his print out not knowing that my child could ever be on the "greater than"side of the percentile spectrum.
For those of you who know my first child Kenedy was and still is in the single digits ( 7% weight or height). so this other end of the spectrum is new territory for me and I must admit I LOVE IT!!!!
Gavin is healthy, happy and full of energy. He just started crawling this week and now that he knows he can get around he is already trying to catch up to his big sister.
We love you Gavin and we look forward to lots of growing and happy smiles.
