Off the charts gigantic

W starts army crawling with a mission. A is finally rolling purposefully. A is still just barely on the charts as far as length is concerned. But he's growing, so that's good. And we just got his helmet today!

[PonyGirl]

GA @ birth: 40w4d
Weight: 16.11 lbs
Height: 26 3/4"
Head: 17"

Anything remarkable? She's happy with how he's growing, almost 2 lbs in a month! She said he's ahead of the game with how well he's sitting on his own.

[flyliceandcoffee]

GA @ birth: 37w2d (I think? I forget already....bad mom)
Weight: 12lb 15.5 oz (0%)
Height: 24.5 inches (1% I think, or maybe it was 0% as well)
Head: I don't remember...10% which is big for him

Anything remarkable? He's slowed down in weight gain so of course the pedi has to ask why. Other than that he was doing good.

No milk allergy, woo!
Side note: collecting samples is not for the faint of heart. I never imagined someday I'd be scraping baby poop into a jar with a spoon. XP

poop collection SUCKS! We had to do that for DD and then put it in the fridge until we could get it to the lab. It was by far one of the worst things ever.

I used a spoon and it's forever tainted. I think if we had to put the sample in the fridge, the fridge would also be forever tainted. Instead I sent MH to immediately bring it to the lab.

haha yah we triple bagged it before we stuck it in the fridge and then got it to the lab as soon as possible (with 2 kids that was a lot harder to do than we wanted)

That's how my first was!! She would go through 2 things of baby food in a sitting. DD2 we are still on 5 ounces of food and she's still spacing out. Pretty sure that's why we still aren't sttn.
