If you look at any baby growth chart, you'll see that the line flattens out over time. After all, a baby's growth has to slow down at some point, right?
I took the liberty of graphing Caleb's weight over time, and it shows that he is not slowing down. I guess that's why his six-month sleepers are beginning to get a little snug (he is three months old-- apparently Carter's does not do vanity sizing).
- He'll grow out of his Graco infant car seat (22-pound weight limit) in three weeks.
- At his one-year birthday he'll be over the weight limit for checked luggage (54 pounds).
- At his second birthday he'll weigh approximately the same as a small cheerleader (102 pounds).
- Three months before he turns 11 he'll weigh the same as the heaviest contestant ever on The Biggest Loser at 526 pounds (upon arrival at ranch).
Good thing that's nonsense. He's just a cute, chubby baby. And I love every last one of his cheeks and chins.
Pretty sure he is the cutest thing in the world...
ReplyDeleteSo excited to have just found your blog!! And more excited to see your wit applied to your baby :) I laughed out loud at work! Miss you!! He is so cute!
ReplyDeleteHe is adorable Lauren! And it does seem that baby and toddler sizes are inconsistent and often not accurate. Sometimes a 6 month old will wear 9m, sometimes 3m. It's hard to pick out clothes for my nieces without them there to hold the clothes up to!
ReplyDeleteBrit, thanks so much! We're coming out in March, and we're so excited to see you! (We = me and Caleb)
ReplyDeleteCarson, so glad you like it! And I am still humored that he has blue eyes. I always remember how you were like-- is it technically possible for you to have a blue eyed child? Turns out you were prophetic :)
Kim, thanks! So true about the sizes... Aaron's sister just sent us a box of 12-month clothes which was a huge help for us... so many of them fit him!
