Hungry hungry hippo
Um, we found out today that Peter weighs nearly 9 pounds, 9 ounces. That means he has gained two and a half pounds since he was born (he was one month old exactly as of yesterday). HOLY COW. I see him every day, so I don't notice the gradual change so much. He still feels light as a feather compared to Charlie Jo, but suddenly I'm not worrying so much if he doesn't finish every bottle. And I'm starting to understand that eating every two hours like clockwork sure is going to pack on the weight fast. I'm pretty sure he has a watch hidden somewhere in his crib, because he wakes up EXACTLY every two hours as if an alarm has been set. Sometimes we get longer chunks, but not very often so far. We'll see what happens when he reaches the "magic" weight at which babies tend to start sleeping through the night (some moms claim this is 11 pounds, some say 12). At this rate, it might be next week!

I notice it most in his cheeks. He's perfect. He is such a happy boy!
Woo hoo!!!!!! I think he's trying to catch up to cousin Sonia. Tell him he's got a lot of drinking to do!
