Parenting after a Loss

Holy crap- Erik's 2 month stats

Well my "little boy" measured 25 1/4 inches and..... 15.11lbs!!! The pedi says his weight is "off the charts".

We've been told to start giving him rice cereal in his bottles because he has been eating 6-8oz every 3-4 hours and he'd like to stretch out his feedings a bit. I can't even believe it! The pedi said we can probably start him on stage 1 veggies at 3 months. Meep!!

  • He is a healthy boy!! A cutie too!

  • WOW, he is a big boy! :) Jax is too...he was 14.11lbs and 23 1/2 inches at his 2 month appt. His 4 month one is on Thursday and I am expecting him to be over 17 pounds! LOL. :) I plan on starting cereal after his doc appt...I can't wait! YAY for BIG, healthy babies! :)
  • Wow!  What a big boy!
  • I thought Annie was chubby, but he makes her look like a shrimp ;)  She was 11.5 on Thursday (8 weeks) and I'm not sure how long she is, but I can tell you it is short.  We have to roll all of her pants and sleeves. 

    Good job mommy!  He looks really healthy!

  • yowsa! andrew was just weighed last week at the pedi (7 1/2 mos) and he weighed 14lbs 9oz.
  • He's an adorable healthy baby. Since 1 month old my DD has been off the charts. At first I was worried that she'd be a fat kid/adult and I was doing something wrong. Not the case at all. She's just big. At Erik's age all they do is eat and sleep so none of the calories are burning off. Jaeda is now 8 1/2 months and her weight is starting to even out. Sometimes I can't get her to eat because she's too busy playing. She hasn't gained now in over a month and I'm not worried since has the extra weight! Her weight chart is in my siggy.

    Plus chubby babies are extra fun to mush!

    So right.

    i just responded to your other post and just saw this so wanted to comment that he may be off the charts but that's fine.  Plus your cutie is long!!  I would not be concerned at all about his weight and keep doing what you are doing.  Wait until he gets mobile.
