Cindy Richmond of South Carolina delivered a 14.4-pound baby on Friday, the biggest baby anyone in the hospital can remember delivering.

Her third child with husband Arthur Keisler, Colin Austin Keisler was delivered a week before his due date by caesarean section; the first two children were 7.6 and 9.8 pounds respectively, CBS News reported.

At birth, the baby measured 24 inches long, the size of a typical 4- to 5-month old.

"He's a toddler at three days old," Keisler joked, according to USA Today

At only four days old, baby Colin is wearing 6-month-old clothes.

“We actually had to send my mom to our house and pick up different sizes because I bought 0-3 months and barely anything 3-6, which is what he’s wearing right now,” Richmond said, USA Today reported.

The average baby weighs about 7.5 pounds at birth.

Dad thinks the 14.4-pound baby might grow up to be a football player, maybe “a lineman for Clemson and the Green Bay Packers,” he said, CBS reported.

Colin is now home with his parents and siblings.

Twitter users felt for the mom and wondered how big the baby will get.
