That's right. Patrick was and continues to be huge. He was born at the end of April and weighed 9 lbs 4 oz. He measured only 20 inches when he was born, but I think they made a mistake because at his 2-week visit he was 22 inches. So, who knows? He's a little over 6 weeks old, but is about the size of a 3-month-old. These pictures are pretty old, but that's all we've got on the computer right now.
Patrick is a silly, smiley little guy, but he also cries a lot and won't take a bottle. Fortunately, he's started to sleep about 5-6 hours in a row at night. It's pretty incredible.
Aubrey loves being a big sister (for the most part). She likes to rock Patrick in his swing chair and oversee all diaper changes, baths, and feedings. She also has her very own baby doll she's recently christened "Patrick" and takes very good care of him. He seems to spit up a lot and needs an amazing amount of diaper changes--which is a pretty accurate representation of the real Patrick. Also, the doll had been a girl before Patrick was born, but now it's a boy, despite its pink accessories.

Man, your kids are cute! Ridiculously so.
I know what it's like to have babies that are enormous. At first I didn't like it, then I decided it was kind of funny and that the extra fat storage made them better sleepers (just a theory). My 2 big ones both plateaued as soon as they became mobile, and now they're well below the 90th %. So, apparently it was my body, not theirs. Great. :)
Lots of love to you guys.
Congrats!
