Baby Update

Yes, this is my four-month old son eating carrots. He may have weighed 5 lbs 9 oz at his lowest, but he's made up for it. He's now 17 lbs.  He's also 25 inches and since he takes after his daddy's side of the family in weight gain (spare tire anyone), he's wearing 9 month old pants. But lest you think I'm stuffing my son, he's only in the 75th percentile for his age and his doctor has signed off on the baby food. (There are signs. Who knew?)

Speaking of signs, I did a little horoscope searching for my son today. And, you know how they say babies are a reflection of their parents? In Iain's case this is definitely true. He's a Virgo (Zodiac) like me, but he's also an Ox (Chinese Zodiac) like his father. He's going to be an interesting little boy to have around.
