Andrew sure sounds about right! My ped. is fine with my son's weight gain, and he's maybe 12.5 lbs. and almost 5 months old. I don't think the actual weight is the big thing to look at - you just have to make sure that they continue to move up the growth curve. Brady started in the 10th percentile, so the fact that he is still in the 10th percentile isn't alarming. Has Andrew slowed some in his growth? What did he weigh at 3 or 4 months? If he is contimually putting on weight and moving up the curve appropriately, I wouldn't worry (and maybe I would find a new ped.). Plus, when babies shoot up in length they may look thinner or drop a percentile in weight for a little while - has Andrew had a growth spurt recently? Good luck and take care.
