weight and height

Hi everyone , I just took Cruz two get his first shots and they weight him and check his height. I feel like he is alittle fat for his age 13 pounds and 23 1/2 inchs at 8 weeks .
What does everyone else's baby measure and how old are they . I am just trying to get a gage.

Isabelle at 8 weeks was 9 lbs 10 oz and 25" long.  The doctor said she is 25% for weight and 90% for height/length... I think I might have a scientist that could have been a model on my hands... tall and skinny... :O)

at 8 weeks Leighton was 10lbs. 13 oz and 22 1/4 in. long.  sounds like we all have very different babies, but as long as they are growing than all is well :)

gee I guess Hayden is small too - at her 2 month she was 10 lbs 11 oz (50th percentile for weight) and 21.5" (25% for height) - she has grown 4 lbs 1 oz since birth and 2".

Wow, I guess I have the little baby here!!

At her 2 month check up (2 weeks ago), Madison weighed 9 lbs 4 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long, She did have growth issues in the womb though, so that is why she is on the small side

At his 8 week Mark weighed 12.5 lbs and measured 22 inches. I think Cruz is perfectly normal. My first weighed 15 lbs at 1 year so children vary so much- don't worry!

at Blake's 8 week, 3 weeks ago, she 11.5 oz and 24 1/14 inch long. She has grown a lot just in these past few weeks though! I don't think your baby sounds fat...I have a friend who had a baby 3 days after me and those were her baby's stats. I honestly think my baby is skinny but it is because she is so long she has a long ways to spread her weight.
