My four month old was 8 lbs 8 oz 21 in long when he was born. He doubled his weight in 2 mos and 2 mos later (now) weighs 21 lbs and is 28 in long. It seems like he skipped being little altoogether..he can only fit in 9 mos and up clothing, has 2 teeth, rolls, sits up, and is working on crawling. I think he's gonna start shaving and driving soon! ;)

Makes me realize how fast time goes when you read about other families with small children. My daughter will be 13 next month...where did the time go? She weighed 6lbs 14oz.and was 20.5 inches, now she is almost as tall as me..and my son is a little peanut he will be 10 soon, he was bigger weight in at 8lbs 2ozs. congratulations on your newest addition.

We have 8 children. The biggest was 8 lbs 4 ozs. Our smallest baby was 1 lb 6 ozs, he was 12 inches long [yes, that's a one, it's not a typo]. The smallest one was born at 24 weeks gestation --- 16 weeks premature, due to a car wreck. He just turned 12 last month.
All 5 of my grandkids were bigger than my biggest child. The last grandbaby weighed 9 lbs 10 ozs and
was 22 1/2 inches long at birth. At his 2 month checkup, he weighed 19 lbs and something. The Dr says that he's off the charts in height and weight.

Alright starting at the top...a girl 6lbs 6oz. and 19in. now 11yrs and almost as big as me...time does fly. Then a boy 7lbs 5oz and 20 in now 8 1/2 and up to my shoulder. After him came another girl 6lbs 8oz and 19in now 6 1/2 and still a little sprite. Then another boy 8lbs 4oz 19 1/2in, he's almost 4 and is 38" tall and 33lbs. My biggest came next, a boy 8lbs 8ox and 21in, now at 21 months he is 32" tall and 29lbs. My baby was 7lbs 5oz and 18in at birth. He doesn't have another check-up until next month but just guessing I would have to say he's around 12lbs and 22 in. at almost 3 months.

I have a daughter and she was 6lbs 2 oz and 21 inches when she was born now she is 2 1/2(3rd birthday in july) and she's about 30 or 35lbs she hasn't had to see the doc since she was two but can't remember her height and weight then lol seems longer than 6 months ago but it's all wrote down in her baby book :) but shes prolly about 3ft and on my scale she was 31 lbs but i'm sure my scale is off most home scales are :)
It's amazing how fast they grow, i just sit back and look at newborn pics of her and wonder where the time went...Seems just like yesterday i was holding her after she was born..
