Baby Heavyweight Champion


At Eli's 2 month checkup 2 weeks ago he weighed 16 lbs 8 oz, double his birth weight. He is in the 100th percentile in weight and 98th percentile in height for his age. I am not sure if they would even tell you if he was above the 100th percentile...so that may be the case too. He pretty much only wearing a diaper. We have switched his clothes 3 times so far from 0-3 month to 9-12 month clothes. The 9-12 month clothes are not even a sure thing to fit him so most of the time we don't even bother. Thankfully its hot in Florida. One person asked me why he wasn't wearing clothes and I said "look at him, he has his own sleeves already (rolls over his wrists)." We love his soft flabby rolls. They are fun to grab and tickle. Fittingly his nickname is Chubbs. He is a lot more fun these days with his coos and smiles. He loves to watch his brother Isaac run all over the house.

Eli's a fine looking young man. I like the slightly inquisitive look on his face in the picture. "What's that silver thing you're holding there?"

WE love those rolls too. Samuel want to know how IZsaac can carry him? So Isaac is boutka and Eli is chubbs. Not sure where butka came from but Chubbs is a good name for Eli. He looks so much like his brother, it is scary
