Like the Man at the Fair

You get to be like the man at the fair or 6 Flags....

Guess Avery's weight!
Tomorrow we go for our 2 week check-up, although technically he will be 2 weeks and one day.


We are hoping that he is a growing boy, he is starting to look a little bigger.


Here he is at birth, 5lb. 10 ounces.


His lowest weight in the hospital was 5lb. 5 ounces, he gained back to 5lb. 7 oz.

He still weighed in at 5lb. 7 ounces at his weight check last Monday at a week old.
(Sorry I can't make it flip tonight)
Here he is today after running a few errands, Mommy can drive!!!!


By the way, I am trying to find something so his head won't flop over like that, but he is just too small. We had a little neck pillow, but he still did it. Any suggestions?

What's your guess on his weight this week?????

6.1.4 can you just prop up a bunch of pillow around his neck? I don't know what you can do, I don't do kids right now. I'm going to be cluless, so take good notes!

I'll guess 5#, 15 oz--that would be an ounce a day. He looks so cute in that last picture--I can tell from it that he's changing even since I saw him last! I like his little "shoes" too--did you find those online at the Trumpette store? He's so cute. I don't know what to do about his little wobbly head if that neck pillow doesn't work yet!

yeah, so you don't know me... i was blog-surfing through my sister andi brewington's blog. anyway, i had a 5 pounder too, whose head rolled around... we loved the eddie bauer 2-in-1 head support from target. they have many different color options online... found under baby: car seats: head supports

Maybe an even 6 lb? Lilly was 6 lb and her head was really floppy - we asked the pedi about it and he said not to worry - they are in a relaxed state when sleeping in the car and if you are in an accident, this is the best state to be in - relaxed (if that is any comfort) - so we just let it flop.

I am going to agree with the comment that said "let it flop". My little boy, Tyler, will be 4 years old in June and still does the head flop. I have tried everything the prop his head up while he is sleeping in the carseat, but have had no luck. I have finally decided that if does not bother him,I won't let it bother me.

Ditto. Kimbo's head just flopped and she is doing great - and she was a big baby. ;) I am going to guess 6 lb 1 oz. Looking forward to hearing about a great doc visit.

Sorry I am late! I am going to guess 5lb 14oz... just to be different. Baby's heads are supposed to flop. Not a problem at all! Such a little cutie! I can't wait to see more pics!
