At birth, Roscoe weighed 7 lbs 2 oz, and was 19 inches long--average stats for a 38 week, full-term baby. According to the CDC Growth Charts, this put him in the 25th percentile for his age.

Interestingly, despite a small frame, Roscoe's head circumference was (and still is) in the 95% percentile...
