At just 3 days, Hudson was back to his birth weight (8 lb. 10 oz.), and at his two week appointment (which was actually when he was 16 days old) he weighed in at 10 lb. 5 oz. He is basically gaining 2 ounces a day instead of the standard ounce a day.
I've affectionately nicknamed Hudson my
Chunky Monkey.
(My sister sent me this cute little outfit, which is quite appropriate.)
As I received many questions and comments regarding Makenna's physique, I'll go ahead and set a few things straight.
No, I do not feed my babies steak and potatoes.
Yes, I produce normal breast milk. Although I admit that it could potentially be cream instead of milk as I have never tried it and therefore can't be certain. I do eat a lot of ice cream...so maybe :)
Yes, Hudson is currently on the chart...although if he follows in Makenna's footsteps, he will likely be in the 99th percentile (in other words off the chart) by 2 months.
And finally, No, my babies never fit in the recommended size clothing for their age. Hudson was out of his newborn clothes within a week, and is already starting to outgrow some of his 0-3 month clothes.
What can I say?? Apparently I have big, chunky babies, and I LOVE it!!

They are so cute, too!
He's just darling! How fun! :)
Chunky babies are the BEST!
Straight cream, I say. It must be a folk dance thing since you, me and Lyndsay are packing the pounds on our babies with no trouble. He is so cute!
Awww, baby expressions are so cute! And the baby rolls are the best. Good job with the cream! :)
I must agree, I love chubby babies! I really can't wait to see him in a few weeks.
What a big boy! You must be doing something right to have such healthy babies! He looks so much like John in that first picture!
He is a cutie. Very chunky. I can't believe that he has already outgrown 0-3 month clothes. Just the other day I put a onesie on McKenna and it was a little tight but not terrible, then I looked at the size and it said newborn. McKenna is 9 months old.
We miss you, and let us known when you are coming to visit. We'd love to see you guys.
We call Rocky Chunky Monkey too AND he has the same outfit! We should do a chunky monkey playdate with some of the Ben and Jerry's Ice cream!
