Wiggly Writings

Since we don’t have another official weigh in until the 9 month visit, we did a quick weigh in today.  He’s 26 pounds.

We are up to size 6 disposable diapers and no where near potty training (we need walking and talking).  He did have his first “word”: “uh-huh.”  It actually made sense in context, but it might have just been a fluke.

Does Thomas or a 25-pound bag of flour weight more?

25 pounds.

We just weighed him this morning (5 months + 1 day):  23.2 pounds (215.8 – 191.6).

the guesses:

• Kristel: 21 pounds 12 ounces (21.75 pounds)
• Grandpa Jim: 21.9 pounds
• Peter: 22.5 pounds

actual: 22 pounds 2 ounces (22.125 pounds)

Today we weighed Thomas on the way to the shower: 20.7 pounds (258.5 – 238.7)

Other metrics:

• clothes size (9 months or 75 cm)
• foot size (3 US or 19 Euro)
• disposable diaper size (Pampers Cruisers Size 4: 22-37 pounds)
• cloth diaper size (Xtra Large Toddler)

the guesses:

• Peter: 20.5 pounds
• Grandpa Nick: 20 pounds
• Grandma Eileen: 19 pounds
• Kristel: 19.5 pounds

the result: 17.8 pounds.

Note: we didn’t actually get a weight at the doctor’s office.  He was just wisked away to get two shots.  One was very painful, but we think it will be much better than getting a form of Meningitis.  So we weighed him on the bathroom scale: 254.6 – 236.8

the guesses:

• Kristel: 15 pounds 8 ounces
• Peter: 15 pounds
• Gramma Kathy: 13 pounds

The result: 15 pounds 4 ounces*

* Note: he evacuated his bladder on the weighing table.

* Another Note: he was really hungry and had to eat a lot before leaving the doctor’s office.

We’re using the bathroom scale, so we’ve got a resolution of 0.2 pounds.  The guesses:

• Kristel: 13.0 pounds
• Peter: 12.4 pounds

Result: 12.2 pounds*

Stay tuned for the next official weigh-in at the doctor’s office on Friday, November 7.

* – This is calculated by weighing Peter and clothes (238.6 pounds) and then weighing Peter and clothes holding Thomas without clothes (250.8 pounds).

Weight update this morning.  The guesses:

• Peter: 10 pounds 10 ounces
• Grandpa Nick: 10 pounds 9 ounces
• Grandpa Jim: 10 pounds 7 ounces
• Kristel: 10 pounds 3 ounces
• Grandma Eileen: 10 pounds 0 ounces
• Grandma Kathy: 9 pounds 15 ounces

The result: 10 pounds 7 ounces *

* – for some reason, he got weighed at the doctor’s today with his clothes on (10 pounds 12 ounces), so we weighed the clothes seperately (4¾ ounces).
