Chunker!

Matthew had a doctor's appointment last week (at his 4 week birthday) and weighed in at a whopping 10 lbs 5 oz. Keep in mind, he was only 8 lbs at his 2 week birthday, so he increased his weight by over 25% in 2 weeks! Thus, we now call him our little chunker. Check out these chubby cheeks -

Unfortunately, all that eating has given him some very impressive gas. The Dr. advised me to give up dairy and nuts to see if that will help. Anyone who knows me knows what a major sacrifice it is for me to give up CHEESE, but I sure hope it will help him digest a little easier. Right now, each dirty diaper is preceeded by a good 30 minutes of red-faced grunting, groaning and flailing arms and legs. Poor little guy!

I am SO sorry to hear about the cheese. He looks so cute with his cheeks filling out! You had to know this child was going to have some serious cheeks it was jsut a matter of time. :-)
