Behold Our Buddah Baby!!!
So, our littlest one had his five week wellness check-up yesterday at the pediatrician's. Now, I don't normally give much thought to the whole percentile thing, but....get this: his head circumference is in the 50%, (okay, average, right?) his length is in the 50%-90%, (so he's pretty long).....but......get this......his weight is OFF THE CHARTS!!! Meaning....our baby TRULY is a chunk! At five weeks, this child weighs 14 1/2 pounds! He is in size two diapers and is already busting out of 3-6 month clothing! Jesse's pediatrician says she isn't worried at all, but she wants me to try and put him on a strict three hour feeding schedule! Kev says, "Our baby's on a diet!!" I sometimes forget that he is still a newborn because he's so big!

That's too funny! Cait weighed in at 14 1/2 lbs at her 6 month checkup! He must be sooo cute though! I'd love to see a pic! ;) we are heading out tomorrow on vacation down east, but i'll call you when we get back...not till august basically. love ya ame and am thinkin and praying for you alot.
I was just checking Nat's old stuff, and she was 15-8, 24 3/4 in long at 2 mo, so a little bit beyond your "El Tubbo" :) but pretty comparable. Maybe I'm a little La Leche here but he doesn't need a diet--just good old mom juice doing its job. No such thing as an obese baby--more to love :)He'll even out eventually, although with what you've said about his personality, he may be the kind that would eat without being hungry since he's an intense little guy. :) Go with your gut, Ame! (haha, no pun intended) :) See you in a week and a half! yay! Can't wait to squeeze him!
