Did I tell you guys I have a giant baby?

[vanillacourage]

I swear that while this picture may be at an odd angle, it is not photoshopped. Here is my 5th percentile almost-4-year-old holding my 95th percentile then-4-wk-old. DS2 was a hair under 12lbs at the time. You guys, his rolls have rolls. Squee!

So cute yet so frightening to me.

9 lbs 5 oz at birth. C-section, baby!

Cute brothers pic! Do you refer to him as your future basketball or volley ball player?

Awww he's so cute. And huge!

[bunch]

It's the formula, right? (I am totally joking, I have no clue what your kid is fed).

[ijack]

That is a big baby! So cute!

Cute pic!

Holly crap, but so cute!

Yesterday, I saw a baby the same size as Layla sitting on ablanket at the park. I was just about to go over and say hi, compare babies when the baby stood up and wandered around. Probably at least 4 mths older than L.

wow! so cute I love fat babies

That is so precious! What a big baby! I love rolls....

My ds was 9lbs 6 ozs. I always forget how big he is until I see him next to other babies his age, then it's like holy crap!

Vanilla you have 2 adorable boys!

I was 9 lbs 6 oz and DH was also around 9. And my ob is known for trying to be low intervention. I may cry.

Ha, don't cry! Babies are very squishy.

Vanilla - how long is he? Poor DS is super short (25%) and just NOW can touch the ground (barely) on his jumperoo at almost 7 months. Poor kid!

I LOVE chubby babies. This is a great shot

My DS2 was off the charts at above the 99% at 4 weeks, and I loved all the rolls. Enjoy squeezing all the chubby rolls! At a little over a year, DS2 is starting to lose them, and it's making me so sad.

Don't cry. My DD was 8 lbs 15 oz and I had her naturally. I am only 5'3". I was HUGE at the end.

My 7 lb 1 oz baby was born via cesarean because he was turned sideways and my water broke naturally.

Trust me, a natural birth is much easier to recover from than a cesarean.

He was 23 inches at birth. I think he's gained another inch or so since then.

I call him the Stay-Puffed Marshmallow Man, lol.

Ha that is long! DS was only 18.5 inches at birth. Such a shorty! I think he is like 26.5 now.

Definitely looks like a trick of the camera! Love the squishiness

N wasn't a HUGE baby (8lb 7oz) but he was huge for a twin. My OB said WHOA when she pulled him out during the c-section.

E was 7lb 1oz. I had a lot of baby in there toward the end.

PS - your boys sure are cute

[CloudBee]

That's an awesome picture!
