So, according to our favorite nurse at the pediatrician's office Cole is an official member of the big boy club.
At birth he was 9 lbs 10 oz. The first two weeks he spent regaining the weight he lost the first few days. As of yesterday he is 12lbs 15oz. So he's gained 3 lbs in 3 weeks. I can't tell you what percentile that puts him in because that is apparently off the growth charts. 24 inches long and a head circumference that is in the 100th percentile as well. Since my family all has fairly large heads, we're going with the standard line that the big head is to hold the big brain because he's so smart!
On a separate note, the twins have managed to stay in their rooms the past few nights - no gate crashing. However, at least one child takes up residence in our room each night so Matt his hearing a daily mantra from me - We need a bigger bed!
More pics to follow soon. If the weather holds we'll be taking the kids apple picking tomorrow and that's always good for a photo op or two.

Sounds like he is on the Ian growth curve.
Ian was 7-14 at birth, 11-13 at 4 weeks, 14+ at 8 weeks, 18-8 at 4 months and 21 lbs at 6 months.
Now, 3 months shy of 12 he is 5'5", wears a size 9 1/2 men's shoe and is about 105 lbs. Yes, he is a walking clothes hanger with hobbit feet.
T went to the doc on Tuesday. He was 15lbs and change-dressed with diaper so we'll just call him 15lbs and 24 1/2 inches (which I think is wrong).
After itty-bitty Ben and Lucy a chubby baby is new to us. Doubling his birth weight by 6 months is a non-issue now:D
