Our sack of rice

The Son is now 6.5 weeks old now, and as heavy as a sack of rice. So heavy that Sunshine is complaining of a sprained left wrist from carrying him. My colleague told me that this is pretty common, and that she should get her wrist treated by a TCM doctor.

Sunshine weighed The Son around 2 weeks ago, and he was 4.9KG then. My guess is that he is at least 5KG now, which is why I refer to him as the sack of rice when talking with Sunshine. If you are what you eat... well Sunshine is having a bigger appetite these days and the rice she eats goes into the milk she produces, which is his sole sustenance. Thus the rice probably goes into our sack of rice somewhere...

Colleagues consider him to be chubby, and to our horror we see 3 month old babies his size... and according to the chart given by the hospital, he is a little on the large side. But we are not force-feeding him, so we hope his weight will come within the average range after his growth spurt...
