I can’t believe how _big_ some of your babies are!

**ValleyGirl** is 9 months and 3 weeks old, and tipped the scales at 15 lbs, 5 oz on her 9 month birthday. And she eats like crazy and never puked.

Babies – they’re always defying logic and the rules of the parenting books!

Sophie born on Oct 19.

She’s puked on me twice and pooped on me once. She hasn’t graced GrizzWife with such an honor as yet.

Being a dad is the GREATEST.

I have Sean and Brendan, nine and a half month old twins. They’re both trying to walk, but so far all they do is stand without holding on for a few seconds and then fall right on their butts. 🙂

I don’t have any babies anymore, but my son weighed 12 pounds, 2 1/4 oz, at birth and by nine weeks of age, he weighed 17 pounds. Fortunately, his rate of growth slowed down, or I’d have a 4 yr old that weighed 100 pounds by now! 😃

I had my son by Ceasarean, but my father-in-law was born at home naturally–and weighed FOURTEEN POUNDS. :eek:

Congrats to all our Doper Moms and Dads with new little ones!

We seem to have an abundance of little boys, don’t we?

Stephanie Rhiannon “hawthorne”. Eight days old. Seen [here](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/picmr/mid2.jpg) with Mrs hawthorne. She was a little 'un, 2.85kg (6 lb 5 oz) on arrival. Right now, she’s in between guzzles. So far, so ridiculously charming.

Add **hedra** / **epeeunk** to the list.

They’ve just added Meriel Freelove and Rowan Alexandra, aged 5 1/2 _hours_, to the pool of young’uns.

6-10 and 7-6, respectively. As one final _gotcha-ya_ to their mother on the way out, the girls decided to go breech-breech. :eek:

Everyone is fine and healthy. 🙂

Since others are showing pics, here’s a couple of the [latest](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v368/Merile/Baby2.jpg) [ones](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v368/Merile/BearBaby.jpg) I got developed. They’re somewhat fuzzy, my point and click camera is starting to break down so I need to get a new one.

My goodness, he looks so grown up! It’s amazing how fast they grow, isn’t it? I remember when he was just born (I think he’s a month older than my little one).

I know, right now he’s getting in to everything and I have no doubt he will be walking in a couple of weeks. It just seems not so long ago when I could sit at the computer and cuddle him as I posted to the boards, but now he bangs on the keyboard and steals the mouse! I’m pretty sure ValleyGirl is a month younger yeah, Arthur was born on Christmas. He’s going to hate that when he gets older I bet.
