Mommy and Daddy have been looking at me funny lately. They keep whispering something about me being even bigger than Adam and wearing clothes that Adam wore at 6 months. Mommy finally took me into the bathroom and weighed me in on the scale and I came out at a whopping 19 pounds. I am 15 weeks old and 19 pounds. My brother Adam was 18 pounds 5 ounces at 17 weeks. So, I have already surpassed him. Mommy is putting me in all of my Christmas clothes now so I can take advantage of them before I outgrow them. Oops! I'm just always so hungry!! I eat 6 oz bottles now and about a total of 30 oz a day.

I slept through the night twice this week (until 5:30 a.m.). The one problem with that is then I am awake and my parents have to play with me at the crack of dawn (actually there is no dawn..it's wintertime..it's just always dark).

Well, I'm packing my bags to head over to Nana and Grandpa's house to ring in this thing they call the "New Year." Mmmm...just the sound of that makes me hungry...

Hello everyone,

It's been awhile, but I figured it was time for me to say hello and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. This was my first Christmas and my first observation is that my brother Adam got three times the presents as me. AND Adam opened all of my presents and if they were good ones he would put them in his pile to play with. Oh just wait until next year brother Adam... We spent the day with Nana and Gpa Dobbs, Great Gma Shum, and Uncle Bryan and Aunt Kristin. It was a lot of fun but I was wiped after the gift opening.

I can't wait until next year when I can eat all of the food everyone was flashing in front of me this year.

On that note, Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!@

Well, I've been stuck with these people for 2.5 months now and I'm adapting well. I am outgrowing all of my clothes quickly and am jumping straight to the 6 month outfits. I barely even touched my 3 month outfits. Daddy keeps saying he's going to put me on a diet because my cheeks are overtaking my face and I am developing rolls on my arms and legs. My response is it's just more of me to love! Daddy looks at me shocked when I scarf down a 6 oz bottle, but hey he's the one that gave me the big boy Dobbs genes.

My favorite thing to do besides eating is smiling. Daddy can't get over the fact that anything will make me smile. A diaper change, picking me up, a simple hello. All of these things I find pleasing and will smile at. Sometimes mommy will notice I'm not sucking down my bottle anymore because I'm too busy smiling at her. I don't find this behaviour abnormal but my parents just aren't used to it because my brother adam would just glare at people at my age.

I had fun celebrating Thanksgiving and an early Christmas with the Karius'. Grandma Karius bought me some peek-a-boo books because Adam already ripped away the "surprise" out of all of his hand me down books. If I have to hear "Where's the baby?" one more time when the baby is staring at me on the page. And then Mommy will say, "there she is behind the blanket" but there's no blanket, just a ripped edge. That brother of mine! Thanks Grandma K for my own collection of books.

Well, I need to go eat something and smile at somebody.

XOXO,

David
