We took Cale for his three-week check-up (2 weeks ago). Everything was great. My "little" man is in the 50th percentile for weight and the 90th for height...yes, HEIGHT!! I couldn't help but laugh. Ella hung out in the 25-50 range for both, always. The doctor said we might have a Michael Phelps on our hands. He's already outgrown his 0-3 month gowns, in length anyway, his little feet and legs hang out the bottom so they fit more like long shirts as opposed to gowns. I was concerned about his weight because compared to Ella he looks so skinny! She was made of rolls from top to bottom and he barely has any. I'm working on getting him "squishy", but I can't seem to fill him out just yet. He's a wonderful baby-laid back, easy, happy and extremely alert! He usually sleeps 5-6 hours during the night and can nurse both sides in 30-40 minutes, it took Ella that long to do one side. He doesn't waste any time when it comes to his meals! He LOVES a bath now that the cord has come off, but doesn't share that same enthusiasm for the lotioning. Little dude has huge hands and feet...I already had to exchange a pair of his booties for a 6 month size. He's been holding his head up since the day he was born and is so strong, but I knew that already from when I was pregnant with him. He has brought such joy to all of our lives in the past five weeks. He is such a sweet heart and CUDDLE BUG...I am SO in love with him! I've lost my heart again!

Excuse me...
