A Good Book

Every now and then I stumbled upon a good book, mostly because I have friends with good taste and even one friend with a degree in books (Masters in Library Science). I think I actually now have 2 friends with that degree so I am double lucky. But I digress...
In past months I have not found a good book or, who am I kidding - the time, to read a good book. My head hits the pillow and I'm out like a light. But suddenly I have a nice long list of interesting books that I am looking forward to reading. And, luck upon luck, when I stopped into the library today I had not one but 5! books on hold, ready to pick up. Now the issue is getting through all these books before the due date.

Happy Birthday

1 month

It's hard for me to believe that 4 short weeks have passed with this little man in our lives. Overall he is a mellow baby, with the exception of this week which has been marked by a growth spurt that is keeping us very much connected, quite literally.

I have recently updated the comment feature which should allow anyone to post a comment now. Hope it helps!

grandsons

As much as the families were hoping for a girl to break up the grandson streak that runs on both side of the family, everyone is tickled with this slew of boys we now have. Mama bejos spent a very generous three weeks with us to welcome in the youngest bejos boy and help out his sleep deprived parents. This week we were sad to say goodbye, although I'm sure papa bejos was anxious to have her back home.

birth weight

At birth this little guy was weighed at 7lbs 14 oz, the same as his big brother. We were all a little surprised as the delivery room wagers all came in around 6 1/2 - 7 lbs. At his 24 hr checkup nurses were alarmed when they thought he had lost 14% of his birth weight. The only logical conclusion was that his birth weight was incorrect and we have been tracking his weight gain fastidiously ever since.

Fortunately, the littlest bejos boy is a good eater and has been gaining weight steadily. This week he weighed in at 7lbs 8oz, perhaps exceeding his birth weight of "about 7 lbs".

He still has chicken legs like his big brother and I predict that yet again I will be deprived of a chubby chunky-thighed baby.
