Fat Babies!

Let me first say, I love fat babies. I don't know if Luke is the only one, but at 11 weeks, he weighed in at 15 lbs 8 oz. I'm starting to get a bit concerned. At the store people say, "Oh how cute. How old is he?" It's always funny to watch their face when I say he is 2 1/2 months. He is eating about 25 to 28 oz a day and from what I have read that is normal. However, some books have suggested we multiply his weight by 2.5 to determine the number of ounces he eats a day. At that rate he would be eating over 35 ounces a day. That doesn't sound right to me. My doctor says its normal but . . . . His cheeks are amazing and so are his thighs! Love those thighs!

Um, ok, can we get some more pictures of Luke up here please? What are his tricks? Mark still wakes up every 2 or 3 hours to nurse. He is so cute but a royal pain in my booty. I look awful all the time but we are having fun. Give your loyal fans the scoop!

fat babies are great. Kira was chubby chubby. Remember her thighs?
I don't think she weighed as much as Luke though. He's so cute.

Gabe was a chubster forever and then just thinned out one day. Now he's tall and thin and no one would guess he was a toddler at birth.
