Alright...well we knew we had a big baby from the get go. However, he's growing bigger and bigger at a very fast pace! He was born at 8 lbs 11 oz. At one week he was 9 lbs 12 oz. At three weeks he was 10 lbs 14 oz. Now, at almost 5 weeks he's 11 lbs 4 oz! Normal babies gain on average half a pound a week, but he's no normal baby. He's growing out of some of his clothes already, which is a shame because it seems as though the one's he growing out of are the among the cutest ones he has!
Oh, well. The doc said he's healthy and we can't complain about the wonderful child we have. He's already sleeping all through the night (seriously!) and he only takes cat naps during the day. Some say that bigger babies tend to do that soon while other babies can take up to six months to sleep all through the night. We guess that extra week in the womb did count for something!
Here's a pic of him today in an outfit that even a week ago we thought was too big. Not anymore!
