Who's Who?

I was reminded today that I had taken these 1-month shots to compare the boys with, then never did anything with them... I've always thought Devin looked a lot like Ethan - and he does - but wow, not when Ethan was this age.. 

Ethan's on the right with his giraffe neck, and Devin on the left with his (relatively) loads of hair.. 

And for a better idea of their size difference... 

Check out those skinny little bird arms on Ethan, and Devin's little gut protruding over his waistline..

So there you have it.. My boys are brothers, not clones... good to know.. ;)

Devin: Weeks 5-7

Ha!  And you didn't think I'd be here!  Well, I decided to do the editing tonight (last night) and schedule it to post tomorrow (today).  Here are weeks 5-7 of the little guy...

(I kind of wish he was wearing a sweatband in this one..)

My Growing Boys

I've been meaning to do this post since Devin's 2-week check-up, but we all know how successful I am at following through with my blogging intentions... So, here it is - six weeks later than planned.. :)

First up - Ethan.. 

He had his 4-yr check-up March 7 (Yes, I know that's almost two months late, but hey - his 3-yr check-up was in May the previous year, so at least I'm getting better!)  His pediatrician does these adorable little stats cards at your well-child visits, and I keep them so it's a quick and fun reference to his progress (the backside of the card has parenting and feeding tips, milestones, medicine dosages and vaccination information)...

FOUR YEAR STATS

Weight: 46 lbs. 6 oz - up 3 lbs. from last year - >97%

Height: 45.5 inches - up 2.5 inches from last year - > 97%

And now Devin... 

  TWO MONTH STATS

Weight: 13 lbs. 7 oz - up 4 lbs. 1.5 oz from 2 weeks - 90%

Height: 23.75 inches - up 2.75 inches from 2 weeks - 80%

Head: 15.5 inches - up 1.25 inches from 2 weeks - 45%

As you can see, he's a little porker.. Considering his lowest weight in the hospital was 6 lbs 9 oz, the fact that he passed his birth weight by over a pound at two weeks was pretty impressive.. and he's still going strong - look at the differences in percentile from two weeks to two months.  He started wearing clothes last week that Ethan didn't fit into until he was four months old, and I noticed today they're already looking a bit snug (this is the 3-6 month size mind you) so I guess we'll see how that goes..  (I just checked, and at Ethan's two month check he was 10 lbs 6 oz and 23 inches.)

I'm hoping to get Devin's 5-7 weekly photos edited and posted tomorrow, but I also have quite a list of "around the house" projects as well.. At least I'm taking them, right?  ;)

Weeks 3 & 4

Super behind.. in all aspects of my life.. But finally got around to pulling these off the camera (or Alec's phone because the camera battery was dead and the charger was nowhere to be found - hence the exceptionally awful photo for week 4).. Am planning on being back to post soon - you know how that goes, though.. But for now, I'm off to catch a few winks before Devin wakes up to eat..

(For those of you who have asked - no, I don't have onesies pre-made with all the weeks.. That's just my mad photoshop skillz put to good use..)  ;)

2 Weeks

Hard to believe it's been two weeks already, but at the same time, I'm having a hard time remembering what life was like before Devin was here.. (Don't worry, I'll have an Ethan post in a few days, as well..)
