Chubbs
November 10th, 2008
This week Maddox gained a ton of weight. Last week at his pediatrician appointment he was 12.5 lbs., and when I weighed him at a baby center 7 days later, he was a touch over 14 lbs! You can totally see the chubby in his cheeks, thighs, and even his wrists. It’s pretty cute.
As you may be able to see in the photo, the new concern is face scratching. It primarily occurs at night and seems to be when he is waking up with gas or general digestive goings on. He’ll squirm and make his baby dinosaur noises, then THWAP, up goes the hand to the face. He just grabs the flesh and claws his fingers down his forehead and into his eyes like a crazy person. Some sort of straight jacket would solve the problem, at least until he could control his arms better. So what better than a good swaddle? Also we now put little socks over his hands to buy us a few extra seconds when he is waking up.
I want to kiss those chubby cheeks!
Ugh the fingernails! Ronin still gouges herself when she’s pissed and flaily.
