Teeny tiny baby...
Today at my baby group a new girl came & bought her 11 week old dd. She is titchy - just under 9lbs!
Gabe was 9lb 1 at birth - went down to 8lb 15 - and I can't believe he was ever that tiny. She asked me if I wanted to hold her so I did, and omg I barely felt like I was holding anything!! And cos she is a bit older she was smiling and holding her head a bit, so it was really weird to think that she wasnt a newborn, cos she was so small. Bless her.
Just wanted to say anyone with a newborn, they do grow VERY VERY fast...so make the most of all the sleepless nights! x

Love my big boy, wouldn't change him for anything...but sometimes I feel a bit sad that no one stopped to chat to me and coo over him, cos he looked about 3 months old. Well, they do coo over him, but not in an "aww what a tiny baby" way!
its an honor to be his mum!!!!!!!!!!
They do grow so fast, I don't know where the last 14 months have gone- don't wish away their early months by trying to make them do things before they're ready, they'll soon be running around destroying your house!!

PS well done Gabe for rolling!! no rushing him was there??!!
Even now I get lots of 'wow, she's grown lots' and is bigger than a 6 month old we saw yesterday! She only wore her newborn outfit once then moved into 3-6 months clothes around 7 weeks.
I think i'll get a shock if I have another baby and they are smaller!
I look at his first baby clothes now and I just can't believe he was so small. As some of the others said the newborn stuff swamped him until he was nearly 3 months old!
I'm pregnant with number 2 now though so I will soon be reminded how little they can be! x
my first was meant to be a 10lb, boy,but was a 7.9 girl lol.
then i had 6.8, 5.13, 6.12, 7.15.
the last was a shock lol.
