Tad had a dr's appointment today. Average weight for an 8 month old is 19.8lbs.... our kid is off the charts, literally- at 27 lbs.!!!!! And 29 inches long. What a chunker! But we don't actually think that he looks that chubby- the rolls aren't as noticeable as I've seen on other babies. Either way he's a very healthy little boy. The doctor said several times he's never seen an 8 month old weigh that much and asked what we were feeding him. He eats just fruits and veggies, maybe once a week he gets a little jar of an actual "meal" (apples & chicken, pasta in sauce, sweet potatoes and turkey, I'm sure these are better flavors than when I was a kid.) The doctor was almost convinced that the nurse had written the wrong weight, Fred and I had looked because we always guess before we go into the dr's (we'd only guessed 21.5 & 22- "Price is Right rules", Fred's mom won with 24.5 as her guess.)
He did have to get shots today and the first one he just kind of stopped and looked at Fred like "What was that?" The second one he finally cried and the third one he screamed. Less than a minute. I was amazed.
He's been fine all evening and loved bathtime. We had to buy some swim shorts so we can post some funny things he does in the tub. Tonight he was shivering and actually kind of chatty.
I'll post his 8 month pictures soon!
