Eric “Hoss” Cartwright. At the time of his birth in 1928, Dan Blocker was reported to be the largest baby born in Bowie County, Texas; he weighed 14 lbs.

... 57 cm, which is longer than a loaf of bread. Well, it's longer than a 56 cm loaf of bread ...
It would have been better if they'd gone with Australian color and said young Ziad was "roughly the size of a juvenile wombat," or something.

The lad is safe and healthy and resting in his mother’s pouch...

The heaviest baby ever born was produced by Anna Bates of Canada in 1879, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. It weighed 23.12lb and died 11 hours after birth. The record for a baby which survived, according to the Guinness record keepers, is held by a boy born weighing 22lb 8oz at Aversa, Italy in 1955.Sep 25, 2009

Juvenile wombat.

That wombat is pretty small. Maybe “two-year-old kangaroo” would be a better comparison ;-).
Anyhow, best wishes to all, glad it wasn’t me!

You could get a pet wallaby.
To: nickcarraway
They can reach 6 feet in length and jump long distances, according to Wikipedia. (Sounds a little like Bill the Son, actually.) I don’t think that would work well in my house. We just got a new sofa!

Don’t they have dwarf wallabies? One or two feet long?
To: nickcarraway
There are 11 species of brush wallabies (g. Macropus, s.g. Protemnodon). Their head and body length is 45 to 105 cm and the tail is 33 to 75 cm long.Rough conversion on the metric units puts the smallest wallabies at around big-raccoon size, with quite a long tail. Cute little devils, actually.

I had another baby a few days ago and I cannot imagine a 13 pounder. Mine was a little early and about 8 1/2 pounds.

Congratulations. I had one born 2-1/2 weeks early at 9 lbs. I was awfully glad he didn’t go to term!
