I took Riley in to the pediatrician on her 5 month birthday to get her weighed. I was slightly holding my breath although I was 99% certain she had gained at least one pound in a month. My sweet sister let me borrow a baby scale to monitor her weight and I had noticed that she was getting heavier to move and lift during bath time! At 4 months Riley weighed a skimpy 10 lbs 7 oz and was below the 5th percentile. Our goal this past month was to FEED THAT GIRL and feed that girl we did! We have been supplementing with formula and she normally gets around 10 to 12 oz of formula a day. At 5 months, Riley now weighs 13 lbs!!! She gained 2.5 lbs in one month!! That's my girl. She is still only in the 15th percentile but I can now breathe a sigh of relief. When I called Ben to tell him the good news he said "well, it looks like our skinny mini has turned into a chunky monkey"! Here are some current pictures of her rolls and rolls of fat. :)
Please notice how she has a slight bulge around her mid-section!
Chunky thighs!
4 months - she is so skinny mini around her stomach!
