Baby cub at 4 months: 16 lbs, 2 oz, 24.8 inches. (I wonder if he will triple his birth weight by 6 months ( Read more... )

The baby cub hits 4 months tomorrow. He's wearing 12 month size clothes already, which is even faster than the older cub reached that size. Then again, the older cub had reflux problems until he was about 6 months, which probably limited his ability to pack on pounds ( Read more... )
