Growing like a weed
8 lbs, 14 oz.
Last week, replace the “8″ with a “7.”
Whoa.

Expectations are BAD
Last week, he slept astonishingly well two nights in a row. Foolish us, we believed it! Since then, that kind of consistency has been nonexistent. I’ve almost reverted to “anything can happen” mode again (and we’re well-stocked for coffee, too), and just in time: the last two nights have been 3- to 4-hour sleeps, max. Urgh.
Then again, he is only 3 weeks old … and real sleep schedules take 2-3 MONTHS. Now, where’s that coffee?

When Sadie Attacks
We had a little birthday party last night — Daddy’s 34th, Isaac’s 3rd week — and Sadie came over with Dan and Ann to celebrate (and terrorize Isaac).

Time-lapse Growth Chart
So in a crazed attempt to record the growth of this little man, I’ll strive to get a daily photo archive going … may not be updated daily, but starting soon, I’ll get a day-by-day photo series up on this site. This, of course, means that I’ll have to sort out the way to edit this software package over the weekend. But since I detect changes every time I come home from work and look at him, this should be an interesting experiment.

Pampers vs. Huggies: The Cage Match
Simply no contest. Pampers scores a complete and utter butt-kicking (or is that -wiping?) over Huggies. In the Newborn size, that is.
Why? Leg fit.
Why does leg fit matter?
Leakage. Huggies = leakage. Pampers Swaddlers = no leakage. Leakage = gross.
Our evidence confirmed by a mess of other new mothers yesterday morning at 4th Trimester.
