We went back for weight checks at 5 days old (8 pounds, 1 ounce), 9 days old (8 pounds, 3 ounces) and 13 days (8 pounds, 12 ounces) as the pediatrician was concerned about your lack of weight gain. We were on the verge of having to add fortified calories to the breast milk until the 3rd visit when you finally gained a good chunk of weight. We were shocked that the baby that came out having to have blood sugars tested for being LGA was not gaining weight fast enough!
At 1 MONTH, you:
Weigh 9 pounds, 7 ounces (75th percentile) @ 3 week check up
Are 23" long (>95th percentile)
Head circumference is 14 1/4" (50th percentile)

Grunt like a goat - we call you "Biilllllyyyyy"
