Wow, you're all so good at doing the personals...I guess you've had a longer time to get to know each other but I have trouble remembering which mum has which kid!
Logan's off to the health center next week for his monthly weigh in and look over. I'm guessing he'll be around 6.6 or so but that's purely a guess. He was 6.3 at 3 months and 1 week. I think he's about middle ofthe range when I compare his size to other kids his age. I have a couple of friends with delicate, dainty little babies and as many with big porkers(!), so I can see around me there's an acceptable range of normal. One friends little girl is 4 weeks older than Logan and is just coming up on 5kgs and another mum at the baby health center has a baby born the same day as Logan who is 8½kgs! All 3 of these babies are fully breast fed so it can't be a formula vs boob issue. To me, he just doesn't look fat at all. He has the baby chins and thighs of course but I think he looks quite lean without looking thin...I think it's a happy medium and besides, he decides how much to eat and when so it must be right for him. (check out my webshots link below to see some new shots of the little wonder if you have time)
So the freezer had carrots, peas, broccholi and cauliflower in it now...I'm getting so ahead of myself! When we go for the weigh in next week, we also have a mum-gathering on introducing solids. It'll mostly be old news for me but it's nice to get together and be social all the same and you can never assume that you have nothing to learn.
Back to breast feeding....I think it's great...albeit really tough in the beginning, but I think it's a positive thing and I don't have any odd feelings about doing it but I do sometimes still marvel at the fact that my body is making his food! I think it's bizarre, but not in a negative way! I felt the same way about being pregnant too. I'd read those 'Your pregnancy this week' websites and be incredulous that all this was going on inside me! Do any of you others sometimes wonder how on earth it all happened? Silly, isn't it!!!
