What a difference...


A few weeks in the life of a newborn makes a lot of difference. All of a sudden clothes aren't fitting, diapers are too small and brand new babies look a lot smaller than your little guy.

Here's MacKay around 3 weeks of age:
And here he is around 9 weeks:
(Same outfit... different body!)



Growing too fast if you ask me.

2 month appointment stats:
12 pounds 8 oz (65.8%)
21.5 inches (4.8%)
head circum 38.7 cm (15.2%)

Yes, you read that correctly. I keep telling Bart that he WILL grow and it's not my fault that he's short right now. Besides, those ladies that measure them aren't super accurate, right? MacKay's pediatrician did ask if we buzz-cut MacKay's hair. No, we didn't. I did happen to rub it all off during one of his hair washes when he was about a month old. Now it's growing in quite nicely, thank you very much.

Happy to report this past Sunday (when those pics were taken) was our first as a family for all three consecutive hours since the birth of our little guy. No melt downs, 2 feedings, great lessons and so nice to be back to 'normal' life.

Planning on blessing him the 2nd Sunday of April. You're all welcome to come!

I love those filled-out pictures that showcase his chubby mid-section. So stinking cute. And way too funny about the 4th percentile in the height - good luck there little dude!

OK, in your second to last photo, MacKay looks exactly like Todd Muir. What is going on? I'm so confused...
