“We ended up weighing him three times because no one could believe he actually weighed 16 pounds. At first I thought maybe the scale was broken.”

Waylon was kept in the ICU because of breathing and feeding issues, but now at 7 weeks, already weighs as much as a typical 6-month-old and is a happy and healthy baby.
