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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
