not much to report here… life goes on for the three big boys – a somewhat more entertaining life. there’s usually a crowd of 2-3 for any diaper changes, squalling, cross-eyed head-bopping, or anything else trogdor does (which isn’t much.) comments from the twits range from “what a cuuuuute baby!” to “that’s my brother!” to “EEEEEWWWWWWW!” (this for both poopy diapers and feedings.) eg’s commentary is, of course, much more verbose. he has declared that he *really* likes his new brother, and that we should summon him any time the baby opens his eyes so they can look at each other.

the boy is the most efficient eating machine i’ve ever seen… he can fill up his tank in 10 minutes flat, he has yet to spit up, and i don’t even have to burp him… in the middle of pounding his milk, he’ll suddenly open up a corner of his mouth, blow out a huge belch, and then latch back on and get right back to business. he’s pretty easy at night – one advantage to being the size of a 3-month-old is that he can go 3-4 hours between feedings.

anyway, he’s looking less battered and swollen and splotchy as of today, so here are some “proof he’s not an alien” pictures:

and one final picture, just to prove he’s mine… okay, i can’t offer you actual proof since i don’t have any of my own baby pictures handy, so you’ll just have to trust me: every single baby picture of me from birth to 3 months (with the exception of a few shots of me sleeping) looks exactly like this one (i had a monster case of colic.)
