Holy weight gain!


Yesterday, Silas was two weeks old and had his second visit to the pediatrician. He was born at 7 lbs 7 oz. At one week, he was 7 lbs 10 oz. Yesterday, 14 days into his exciting life of suckling and sleeping, the little bugger is a scale-busting 8 lbs 10 oz. The general rule is an ounce a day in this stage, not two!

The pediatrician was happy with it, as he seems healthy and there probably isn't such a thing as having over done it when your breast feeding. I just hope he doesn't get into football someday. I'd prefer rugby, if it's any thick-necked, violent sport. :)

That's great weight gain! Yay for fat babies! I love all Max's rolls and cankles. Just beware, they can grow all kinds of cheesy goodness.

lookin good. Laz still has alot of cathing up to do but I think Max (with all of his chubby Dan-ness) takes the cake .... at least for now.
