At his 2 week pediatric checkup he weighed 11 pounds. Alicia, our nurse practitioner, said, "wow, 11 lbs!"
May 1st weighed 11 pounds
June 3rd weighed 16 pounds on the home scale.
June 5th weighed 17 pounds - exactly 7 weeks old. 99.8%.
June 12th weighed 17.5 pounds
June 19th weighed 18 pounds
July 24th weighed 22 pounds
Aug 17th weighed 24.7 pounds
I used the infantchart.com website and entered his numbers at 6 months of age. If he stays at 99.9% then he will weigh 24.11 pounds at 6 months. His growth should slow down significantly at some point soon.
I'm not sure if I should worry. Is he getting too big too fast? I've scoured the internet message boards and I found 2 posters who said they had 20 pound 2 month old babies. But there were no other concerns there other than my back and arms hurt from carrying and my baby is going to need a new car seat that's expensive.
He sure looks healthy and proportionate. At least when RJ holds him he appears to be a baby. He looks much bigger when I hold him.
He really slowed down growing at the end there.
