The Real 13?

We went to our new doctor yesterday and on a manual scale without a diaper charlito can in at 13lbs 7oz. I suppose because I hold him everyday I don't realize how big he is. But I got to hold a 3 week old who weighs 8 lbs - the same as charlito was at birth - and I was shocked how tiny he was. It made me miss the day he was born and having a tiny little guy.

Anyways it makes a big difference having a doctor you like!! the last straw was that during the last visit the doctor would talk to me through the baby. I tried to explain to the doctor his 4am grunting and crying and how he seems to be in pain. She talked to the baby instead of me saying: "mommy wants to sleep but she doesn't get it that babies sometimes do things we can't explain and that she won't be getting sleep for awhile. isn't that right baby?" I guess I know how charlito feels always getting talked about in the 3rd person...

I do think that 13 lbs and 6 weeks are magic numbers as he is becoming ever sweeter - at least during the day. I guess all those rolls are making him more jovial. In the mornings I prop him up to look at me and he is full of smiles. Looking at the pictures though I'm realizing he might have a crooked smile.

As for the race with the house I think we should reset it to whether the baby can sleep through the night or the house is done first. My all expense trip to Paris seems to be vanishing with every additional dollar that gets sucked into the house. That said the house looks great - it has drywall and is primed and they are starting with the floors. We have 1.5 weeks to move out and move-in somewhere....
