Elijah looks so mini to me in this picture, which is from week 1 of his life. At over 3 weeks now, he looks so much bigger to me...we'll see for sure at his 1 month weigh in on Thursday. I think, like any good pugilist, Elijah is trying to make weight: he basically has been on 4 hour eating binges in the past day, punctuated by short breaks to rest his cheeks for the next round. I think that when he hears my voice or is near me, he just starts thinking of food (like the cartoon characters who look at another animal and visualize a roasted turkey). Luckily, Mike is great a distracting Elijah from pigging out with walks in the sling, two-step dancing in the living room, and extended percussion jams.
