I accidentally weighed Jack the other day. Well, first accidentally, and then on purpose. As I mentioned a while ago, I stopped weighing Jack after his 4-month doctor’s appointment because I was making myself crazy. He weighed just under 16 pounds at his 6-month appointment a month and a half ago, and I hadn’t planned to weigh him again til his 9 month.
But the other day I was going to weigh myself before my shower, and Jack was crawling around on the bathroom floor. (I let him crawl around in the bedroom/bathroom while I get ready to take a shower, and then I put him in the Exersaucer.) Anyway I pushed the button to reset the scale, and Jack crawled on to it, and to my surprise it said 19 pounds. So I was curious enough that I weighed him the “proper” way, e.g. the way you weigh a cat (weigh yourself holding the cat, then just you) and it claimed he weighed 19.5 pounds. Now, he was wearing his diaper and PJs, but still! That seems like an awfully big weight gain to me. Maybe I’ll weigh him next week at the mother’s group.
Must be all the solids he’s eating. I’m feeding him twice a day and he is a little eating machine. Who would have thought I would have a baby that loves food! He sure didn’t get that from me. Anyway, I know things change, and I’m sure we’ll find foods he doesn’t like, but I’m grateful he hasn’t been picky so far.
