No wonder
Eli has been wearing 3-6 month clothing for at least two weeks now. He turned eight weeks yesterday (clearly not within the 3-6 month age range).
We now know why he's almost too long for 3-6 month clothing.
At his two-month check-up today, Eli was:
13 lbs! (90-95th percentile)
24 1/2 inches! (75-90th percentile)
Eli gained 2 lbs 13 oz in a month, and grew 2 inches!
In other words, we grow 'em big over here in the DeVylder household, especially the second time around. As a comparison:
At birth:
Gus- 7 lbs, 2 oz; 19.5 inches
Eli- 8 lbs, 2 oz; 20 inches
One month:
Gus- 8 lbs, 8 oz; 22 inches
Eli- 10 lbs, 3 oz; 22.5 inches
Two month:
Gus-11 lbs, 5 oz; 23.25 inches
Eli- 13 lbs; 24.5 inches
Thank goodness for Babydays, I would never remember this stuff on my own...It is important to note that Gus was born 2 1/2 weeks early, so who knows how big he would have been at birth!
