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.

No requests from the eldest bejos boy for a return on the merchandise yet.
He is still full of hugs and kisses
