4 weeks later, Spencer has upped the weight to (I believe) around 8 lbs, and is too long for his newborn clothes - well, his legs are, he's still fitting in the newbies onsies. My super advanced measuring skills place him at 21 1/2 inches (this via a yard stick placed next to him in the crib while stretching out his frog legs*). So he's grown an inch and a half in one month?! However, he has managed to make his way into the 0-3 month sweatsuits, thereby prompting this school-spirited photo I shot yesterday:
(pardon the quality, this was taken via cell phone).
*frog legs is a term used by highly educated hospital staff to describe a breech baby's legs, not something degrading I am calling my child.
I won't regale you with all that's happened in the last 4 weeks, but here's a quick photo journey for fun.

And a quick little update on our life today. We went to the office to visit (show off) my adorable offspring to all mine and Daddy's co-workers. Of course, Spencer was met with rounds of "he's such a beautiful baby" and I was met with "wow, I can't believe how good you look." That was encouraging! Then we went to lunch with Kim, who just had baby Miles 3 months ago (future bestie?).
Yesterday, we had our very first playdate with Paige Dorn, est. 12/11/08 as well. While she was born a mere 5 hours before Spencer, she still weighs less than him and looks so tiny! Neither one of the kiddos woke up to actually acknowledge thier playdate, but Mommy took a photo to memorialize it. See below:
And that's all for today. Check back in regularly for updates (which will be more regular while Mommy's on leave).
spencer is beautiful!!! I can't believe he's almost a month old...seems like you were just posting your induction date, and then bam, almost a month old!
