I have a little peanut! I couldn't imagine carrying around a baby that weighs close to 18 pounds at this point. 6 months 1 week At birth: 6 lb 10 oz At 4 months: 11 lbs 8 oz At 6 months: 13 lbs 12 oz So she doubled somewhere between her 4 and 6 month appointments.

It's not fun. My back is killing me. I hope he's an early walker.

It is seriously hard work! I don't really think about how big mine is until I hold a normal sized baby.

Every book I've ever read says double birth weight by 6 months and triple birth weight by a year.
It is not 'every' baby, but 'most' babies.

Both of my first two kids were double AT 6 months, but not triple at a year. (They were both @ 7 lbs at birth)
LO will have to gain 3 lbs this month to hit double. I doubt he will hit triple by a year. (He was 9+lbs at birth)

ETA:
5 months
BW: 9 lbs 2 oz
Most recent weight check: 14 lbs at 4 months
CW: guessing 15 - 15.5 lbs now at 5 months

I know - it's easy to forget what a tank J is. A colleague of mine brought his 5.5 month old daughter in today. She looked so tiny to me!

LO is 4 1/2 months old

She was 7 lb 5 oz at birth and 15 lb 12 oz now.

She is currently in the 83 percentile for height and head, and 70th for weight.

I think she is going to be taller than her big sister down the road!

rachthebaj · August 2014

5 months, 1 week
7lbs 4oz at birth
14lbs 12oz currently

We had some weight gain issues around month 2, but he's doing just fine now! Starting to see more normal percentages.
