2.5

Sunday Karston turned 32 weeks old. Today I read that the rule of thumb is to be 2.5 times birth weight at 32 weeks of age, which would be 16.25 pounds for Karston. A few days ago he weighed in at 16.5 pounds fully dressed. He weighed 16.1 pounds this evening, but that was after we learned another lesson: even if Karston wants it, we might not want to feed him all 2.5 oz of prunes! He ate all that last night as part of his dinner, and the prunes started working after breakfast. In fact, the next five diapers were poopy, and he was fussy all day. So I'm going to guess he was 16.25 pounds at some point today, and say he matched that rule of thumb.
