Baby at 11 Months: Almost the Same Weight as His Five-Year-Old Sister, Surpassing Growth Expectations

In an astonishing display of growth, this 11-month-old baby weighs nearly as much as his five-year-old sister. Not only that, but he's already half the size of his mom. Arley, not even one yet, wears clothes meant for three-year-olds and tips the scales at more than double the average weight for boys his age. Standing upright, he reaches his mom Mollie Apps' hips with his remarkable length.

Remarkable Growth: 11-Month-Old Baby Matches 5-Year-Old Sister in Weight, Surpassing Expectations

Mollie Apps, standing at 5ft 3in, shares her astonishment: "He is massive. He weighs almost 3st, so he is quite heavy, and he is currently in two-to-three-years clothing. Honestly, he's amazing. He's not just chubby but big in every way possible. The size difference between him and his five-year-old sister is crazy. She weighs 3st 4lbs, but Arley definitely feels much, much bigger." Despite his chunky appearance, Arley started at a comparatively unremarkable 10lbs when he was born on May 17, 2021, showing no signs of being a larger baby until months later.

Size Surprises: Baby Arley's Impressive Growth Poses Challenges for Petite Mom

Mollie Apps expresses her astonishment: "They say babies lose weight once they're born, but Arley only ever put it on. No could we have predicted Arley would be so big." Despite not eating excessively, Arley consumes three kid-sized meals a day and enjoys fruit and milk in moderate portions. However, his size becomes problematic for his petite mom, especially when climbing the stairs in their apartment building. Mollie shares, "I live on the top floor. It's only three floors, but there is no lift, so I definitely feel like I should have bigger arm muscles than what I have right now." Mollie's C-section, necessitated by Arley's significant size, further adds to her physical challenges. She plans to undergo an operation to address it in a few weeks but worries about lifting her big boy afterward.

Mollie, an administrative professional at a pharmaceutical company, shares her unwavering love for her son and the adoration he receives from others. She reveals, "People always say what a beautiful boy he is and how happy he looks. They also say he looks like a two-year-old. I get that a lot. Or he should be in the Guinness World Records book. I'd love that."
