Oh Baby! South Carolina Mom Gives Birth To 14-Pound Boy

LEXINGTON, SC — A South Carolina couple is looking for some bigger baby clothes after their son was born at a whopping 14.4 pounds.

WLTX-TV reports that Colin Austin Keisler was born by cesarean section at a hospital in Lexington. The baby is healthy, but his mother, Cindy Richmond, says they had to send her mother home for some bigger clothes because Colin couldn't fit into any of his newborn outfits.

Colin is off to a good start if he's destined to attain some of his father's goals for him. (For more local news, click here to sign up for real-time news alerts. If you have an iPhone, click here to get the free Patch iPhone app.)

Arthur Keisler wants Colin to be a defensive lineman at Clemson University and play for the Green Bay Packers.

Colin apparently is the largest baby ever born at the 46-year-old hospital and probably among the biggest in South Carolina, The State reported.

WLTX-TV says statistics show the average baby weighs 7.5 pounds at birth, while 14.4 pounds is the weight of a 4 or 5 month old.
