Goodness me is he a big kid!
Cooper got his infant hearing screening today (his hearing checked out perfectly) and for kicks, I weighed him while we were there.
Wearing a clean disposable diaper and a thin long sleeved onesie, he weighed 12 lbs, 13oz.
That is exactly FOUR pounds more then when he was born. OK, so the diaper and onesie probably weighed maybe 3- 4 ounces, so it is realistically about 3 3/4 lbs more then when he was born. But still! He is gaining weight like crazy!
I am so proud of him. And of my boobs.
The nurse warned me that with such a big baby, sometimes he'll falsely appear to be behind in developmental milestones because people will think he is older. And my sister confirmed that when baby E was quite big, at one point she almost got scheduled for the wrong vaccinations due to the assumption that baby E was older then she was. So I'll keep a close eye on this potential confusion.
