Even bigger

Robert's had a cold this week (slightly smaller appetite, much more barfing) and he's been sleeping through his night feedings. The bathroom scale led me to believe that his weight had finally stabilized at a hefty and quite respectable 15 pounds (*97th percentile*). Nope. At the doctor's office today, he weighed in at 16 pounds 13 ounces...on an empty stomach. Somehow, he's managed to gain half a pound a week on fewer and shorter feedings. What's going on?!

Children his weight are often sitting independently, pulling toys to their mouths, and maybe even crawling or walking. I've somehow ended up with a fat little caterpillar that's too heavy to carry comfortably in the infant carrier but still napping 3-4 times a day (thus requiring a car seat that does not disturb sleep while out and about). A little frustrating, but still nothing to complain about :)
