Two babies and both over 11 lbs? Ay caramba!! That alone should keep Mom from having more kids. Junior is twice the size that I was at birth.

'Super Tonio' causes sensation in Cancun

He is called "Super Tonio," and at a whopping birth weight of 14.1 pounds, the little fellow is causing a sensation in this Mexican resort city.
Cancun residents have crowded the nursery ward's window to see Antonio Vasconcelos, who was born early Monday by Caesarean section. The baby, who weighed 14.5 pounds Wednesday, drinks 5 ounces of milk every three hours, and measures 22 inches in length.
"We haven't found any abnormality in the child, there are some signs of high blood sugar, and a slight blood infection, but that is being controlled so that the child can get on with his normal life in a few more days," Narciso Perez Bravo, the hospital's director, said on Wednesday.
In Brazil, a baby born in January 2005 in the city of Salvador weighed 16 pounds, 11 ounces at birth. According to Guinness World Records, the heaviest baby born to a healthy mother was a boy weighing 22 pounds, 8 ounces, born in Aversa, Italy, in September 1955.
Antonio's mother, Teresa Alejandra Cruz, 23, and father, Luis Vasconcelos, 38, said they were proud of the boy, and noted that Cruz had given birth to a baby girl seven years ago who weighed 11.46 pounds.
