Go big or go home

Today this sweet child ...

was placed on the scale at the doctor's office. And this is what the doctor had to say:

"Whoa-Good GRIEF! (word has been changed) What on earth have you been feeding him?"
Then he put his hand on Ty's belly and said "Hellooo Mr. Piggy."

Yes he really did say that.

That would be because Mr. Piggy gained 3 pounds in 3 weeks. If you're not schooled in baby gaining patterns, usually infants are expected to gain a grand total of 1-2 pounds during their first month of life. Not a pound a week.
So....
What does this mean for the future? Could this current 95th percentile status be an indicator of 'top of the charts' status throughout his whole life? I hope so.
The real question is, how do we turn this incredible rate of weight-gain into monetary gain for Jordan and I?
What. You know you'd be thinking it too.

  1. So, is that 95th percentile for weight AND HEIGHT? I guess we no longer have to worry that Ty wasn't getting enough to eat from that single artery umbilical cord--he's making up for lost time (and then some!)

  2. He's actually in the 90th percentile for height.
    Where did this kid come from?

  3. Wow! He weighs almost as much as Myka, and she's 4 months! What a chunk! :)

  4. Yay that he is growing so well and healthy! And, before you think BYU linebacker... Preston was a complete chunk the first year of his life and in that 90+ percentile.... now he is 13 and skinny and growing tall! I have a feeling your son might end up a similar fate ;) Enjoy the cute baby fat while it lasts!!
