OMG - just had DS3 weighed.............

[TheQueenOfQuotes]

at 5 weeks old he was exactly 9lb, today at 10 weeks and 3 days he's 13lb 10 !!! I guess any hopes I had of having an 'average' baby with a small appetite like me are right out of the window.

Oh and I met a MN'er while I was there! (though she's one that hasn't posted many times, and hasn't for quite sometime I thihk)

laa di daa di daa

forgotton how much my ds weighted most the time but know he was 20lb at 20weeks! he's nearly 16months now and is 2stone 4.

The rate DS3 is going I don't think he'll be far off that LOL

I have 4 children, birth weights range from 5lb 3oz - 8lb 3 oz. Bizzarely, all weighed 20lb at 1 year old. Youngest son from birth quickly followed the 90th centile line on weight chart, he's now 2 and is just under 50th centile! They all grow different rates at different times. Who wants 'average' anyway?

That's officially known as a growth spurt!

My Ds was a round little thing too, at 10 weeks he weighed in at a hefty 15lb 12 - he is now 6 yo and a tall skinny thing (he lust have stretched all the weight out lol)

lol ming that's what I though too. Mind you the other DS's were like that too - piled on the weight constantly - they've both heavy now (DS2 is both tall enough, and heavy enough for a booster cushion at just under 4yrs old ) but DS1 is tall and skinny, whereas DS2 is tall but still chunky.

I was going to get him measured too - but decided not too...........all I know is that he fits snuggly into his 3-6 months babygro's LOL.
