My child is huge.
He is 5 months on the 9th and he wears 6-9 month clothes. Some of those are getting snug on him. This kid is a goliath. He weighs about 20 pounds now. Ericka's son weighed 21 pounds when he was a year. Where this kid gets it from, I don't know. Once he wakes up we are going to go take him to get some shots. I'm one of those quasi-crunchy moms that delays the vaccines. Instead of doing 4 at once I get a couple here and a couple there and hold off on some until he is much older. Some people think its stupid, but those are mostly the ones that listen to doctors 100% of the time with no research of their own. A friend of mine thought I was talking out my ass because I told her the new guideline it to wait on solids until 6 months. The AAP suggests it for many well researched reasons. Well low and behold, her pediatrician told her that too and it shocked the hell out of her because she didn't do that with her last one. I can't see getting in any big hurry over it myself and obviously my kid is getting enough to eat.
We are trying to find somewhere to live again. There is a good sized apartment downtown above one of the stores, but the stairs are outside, metal, and steep and I don't know where the wrecker would go. There are a couple of houses but they cost more than a house payment. All the new apartments in town are income restricted and we make way too much to live there. Its actually pretty stupid because they charge a good amount for them so when you compare rent to the income you pay about 30-40% of your pretty low monthly income on rent. Yep, makes no sense to me either. It sucks because they are brand new and super nice. The other apartments are either ghetto or super expensive. I mean really, $800 a month for a 2/2? And we have to live in the city because of his job. Not a hard job at all!
