So, my child is huge. He barely turned 5 months old last week and he weighed 16.5 pounds!!! I have friends with babies who are at least 7 months old or even about to turn 1 and they weigh less than him. He has never lost weight since he was born, not even when he was a newborn and the doctors were all surprised. Chubby babies are cute, but I hope he doesn't keep growing at this rate or I'll pull a back muscle again. This picture was taken when he was about 4 months old. I know it's an odd angle and makes him look MASSIVE, but he is still huge and long! He has to be tall at the rate he's growing.
