Drew is huge! More on that in a minute. It's been a while since my last post, but much has been happening. I went back to work this week (yuck), but not before a visit from Aunt Shauna this past weekend. Amongst other things, she helped Nate break in his new monster sandbox I built him over at the new property.
He wasn't long before he lost any inhibitions of getting dirty.
I think he'll really enjoy playing in there once we finally get moved over to the new place.
Later that evening, Grandma and Grandpa had a wiener roast for us and the neighbors. It was pretty fun and we got a chance to meet the people we'll be living next to. I'm not sure who took this picture, but it looked cool so I put it up...
Now, on to
Chunkzilla! Drew is just growing like crazy. He's even eclipsing Nathan's staggering growth rate from that time of his life. Drew will be 5 weeks tomorrow and Liv weighed him today. He's sitting at 10lb 13oz. I looked through some of my old postings from when Nate was around that age. Nate was 10lb 8oz at 6 weeks and had a 6oz head start at birth! So basically, Drew has gained 3lb 5oz a week quicker than
Nate gained 2lb 10oz. Drew also moved up a diaper size about 3 or 4 weeks sooner than Nate did. At this rate, he should be a pumpkin shaped sumo wrestler by Christmas. He seems very pleased with his progress...
At his 1 month checkup last week, he had grown 1 1/2" to be the same height that Nate was at birth. So it looks like we have a tall skinny one and a less tall, chunky one. The weight advantage may keep Drew safe from any older brother hazing that is bound to happen. Although, Nate is still pretty smitten with him so far...

I'm the one who snapped that picture...of "my guys".
Have mom pull out your baby book and compare Drew's growth rate to yours. As stretched-out as you are now, you were a pretty stout baby. I have a feeling Drew's following his old man...that Nate is actually the runt!
