Mari was 4 lbs 11 oz when born. She was down to just around 4 lbs when she left the NICU after birth. We visited the GI specialist last week to get a longer mic-key button (hers was getting sucked inside due to excess chub). I made a comment about "chubby Logan" when the doc came in. He just smiled and said she wasn't chubby, just "a specimen of nutritional excellence." I smiled and thought to myself, "that must be my problem. She weighs 32lbs 3 oz. right now at age 5.
