Small will be two weeks old on Wednesday. Sure, his birthweight was slightly over ten pounds, but he's just a newborn.:crying: He was over birthweight at a week, and I took the newborn support out of his Keyfit yesterday (it's only usable up to 11 pounds). I also had to move his straps up to the next slot. :eek: I could probably have started him out at the second slot.

I should have known that was coming when, at our 33 week u/s, the tech ran the transducer over my belly and said, "Wow! That is one loooooooong spine." The kid's massive. The new Recaro had better be available here and it had better be amazing. ;)

Charlie was 11.7 at birth, and over 20 by four months. He was in a Baby Trend Latch-Loc and Boulevard from birth. The LL I had to START at the 4th (of seven!!!) slots, and the BV I never used the infant insert in and had to move the straps up about half an inch from their lowest setting. He was only 21.5 in long, but he seems to have a crazy long torso.

Well, at least he's still smaller than your other kids, LOL!:D My DD was only 7 lbs 2 oz at birth, came home at 6 lbs 14 oz.- but by two weeks old she was 9 lbs! For a while, I was afraid she would continue to gain a pound a week! Luckily, she was only 18 lbs at 6 months, so she did slow down!
