Is my son a piggy? How big is your 5 month old?

think my son must be a PIGGY!!
He is a little over 5 months, here is his eatting schedule:
breakfast 2 tablespoons ceral mixed w/formula and a full container stage 1 fruit followed by about 5.5-6oz bottle.
lunch a full container of stage 1 veggie and a 6oz bottle
dinner 2 tablespoons ceral mixed w/formula, a full veggie and a full fruit followed by a 5oz bottle
night time 6oz bottle before bed
Is my son eatting too much??
Yikes!
He weighs 16lbs does this sound normal?

Sounds fine to me ... The stage 1 jars are small. My son was eating stage 2's at 5 months!! And 16 pounds sounds just right! Andrew was 16 lbs at 4 months I believe.

Just keep in mind that every baby is different and will eat to gain weight accordingly. I say that because some of my IL's have asked if I was overfeeding Gabriella since the beginning. She's a good eater and always has been.

I can't even remember what she was at 5 months. How time flies by. I know she must have been close to chmlengr's son because they seem to have followed the same pattern.
